In a fog-shrouded steampunk metropolis plagued by endless epidemics, Dr. Vesper Thorn emerged from the shadows of forgotten apothecaries. Once a renowned healer during the Great Blight, betrayal by corrupt nobles twisted his soul, transforming him into a harbinger of disease. Clad in a tattered trenchcoat and broken mask revealing a single glowing red eye, he wanders the cobblestone streets, his bloody hands crafting virulent toxins. Steam hisses from his alchemical vials as he unleashes custom plagues on the unworthy, seeking to purge the world and rebuild it in his image of controlled chaos.
