The Alchemist
From Dragon
The Imperial Alchemist is named Shinjo-rushi. His apprentice, Tai Fong, was encountered during the Night of Gates. He was seen in a vision in the world above speaking with a skinwalking demon named Aku, who he seems to indicate has usurped the Dragon's place in the Cycle.
He is a different person than:
- The Ancient, who probably made the Terrible Oil of Wasting Death for Machan Li.
- Master Hsi, who made the Tincture of Pure Respite for the party
- Master Hsi's apprentices, who probably made the Tincture of Pure Respite for Machan Li
