Alaric Wisderm is a character in The Lands of The Lunerra who never once appears to the player. Of course he couldn't... because he was dead.
He was a mad scientist. Of all the wieras that ever existed, he was the closest to chaos and madness.
And yet, why did he become a scientist instead of slaughtering everything around him and driving everything into chaos...? Because being prone to chaos and being one of the closest to madness did not change the fact that he was intelligent. He was capable of logical thinking. He was able to suppress his own urges. Even if it was a bit... difficult.
But his death was also due to the fact that he eventually lost his sanity. During his life, he had carried out countless experiments that were really important, but the failure of one of them led to his death. Then the seat of greed became vacant and Saligia, the organization of the wieras, was looking for someone new.
