Torfin was raised in Katapesh to half-orc parents. They worked offloading barges in the docks and always wanted more for Torfin. They saved as much coin as they could and sent him to the best schools they could afford. Torfin proved adept at chemistry and medicine and scored well enough in school to join the Guild of Alchemists as a journeyman. During his training he showed skill at healing and crafting, as well at being adept at talking with the more monstrous races that frequented the markets. Torfin was also daring enough to journey into the desert to collect his own ingredients instead of sending others out for them.
During his training he was sent to Solku to set up his own shop and conduct more research into ways to better infuse his extracts with curative magic. He has scoured the region for ancient accounts that may hold these secrets.
