Dominic Harrowmere

Dominic Harrowmere was once the most celebrated patron of the alchemical arts in the kingdom, his lavish estate serving as a gathering place for experimenters and theorists alike, until the night his hubris caught fire in a crucible. When he insisted on personally testing an untested transmutation formula—one he'd wagered his fortune could reshape base metals into starlight—the resulting explosion left half his body transformed into an intricate lattice of living crystal that caught and refracted light like a thousand fractured mirrors. Rather than retreat into bitterness or despair, he discovered that his new form had sharpened his wit to a cutting edge, and he wielded sarcasm like a nobleman's blade, deflecting pity with barbs and transforming tragedy into dark comedy. His salvation arrived in the form of a desperate young alchemist named Iris, whose unconventional theories about reverse-crystallization had caught his eye—and who was foolish or brave enough to accept his proposal to become his personal researcher. Together they work in his crystalline-walled laboratory, a space he had constructed from the fragments that still occasionally shed from his body, each failed experiment and small breakthrough bringing them closer to restoring his humanity. Though he claims his only motivation is vanity and the desire to wear proper tailoring again, those close to him know that Dominic has become something far more valuable than any nobleman: he's become a man genuinely interested in the impossible dreams of others.
