Eventually the concoction formed a " creature that resembled a human fetus, as small as a thumbnail". With it, he mixed it with human fluids, some herbs and nectar, and stored it in a vial for 40 days. This eventually led to the Senate to label Forneus as demon alchemist and to be feared as one, before sealing his workshop permanently using the Sage's Shield.Īlong with his research into the thanatophagus, eventually Forneus acquired the blood of a Divine Dragon, something he had taken a great risk to attain. Meanwhile, Forneus was thankful of the Council, as because of them, he had many cadavers at his disposal, indicating that he had killed all the people sent and revived as his soldiers of the dead with the Death Masks. Despite this, none of them ever returned. The Senate then sent forth soldiers, who ranked among the best in Thabes. Forneus never replied, and the messengers never returned either. The Senate began to suspect his involvement and sent messengers to urge him to come to a discussion with them. The alchemist then began to spirit away people that were near his workshop to experiment the thanatophages on them. Created as a means to make the insects understand that he was their master, and that they served under his will, he dubbed those "Death Masks". Thus, he constructed masks that resembled his late wife's face, and placed the thanatophagus in the reverse side of it. Naming these insects "thanatophages," Forneus discovered from his studies that they can assert control over a corpse like a parasite, move the body and strengthen the muscles greater than when the host is alive, and releases a preservation fluid that prevents the host from decaying. While experimenting, Forneus accidentally created a new species of a shelled insect, which was about as large as a thumb, and resembled a shellfish. A mage worked with him at one point, but fled in fear when watching Forneus study a moving corpse. He began to tirelessly work in his workshop in the deepest part of Thabes with two goals in mind: The first was to bring the dead back to life to use as subservient soldiers, and the second was to create a perfect lifeform. However, she eventually died under unknown circumstances, and since then, Forneus seemingly began to lose his sanity. At one point in his life, he was married to an unknown woman, whom he loved dearly. He was renowned and loved for his genius talents. In the ancient past, Forneus was an alchemist that lived in the advanced city of Thabes.
