Background
Early Life
Rory doesn't recall his early life beyond the fact that he was abducted to the Feywild as a toddler. He spent his childhood there until he was rescued by a small group of dwarven explorers who happened upon him and proceeded to take him back to their village.
Apprenticeship
While his saviors were kindhearted, they still believed that any member of the village must earn his keep. Rory was initially put to menial tasks about the local farms before it was discovered that he had a propensity for hyper-focusing on certain tasks to the detriment of all other chores. Before long, he was apprenticed to the representatives of the Alchemists' Guild largely as a measure to get him out of everyone's hair. Fortunately, Rory discovered an aptitude for chemistry and transmutation, and he rapidly rose in the ranks of his fellow apprentices. He graduated to Journeyman in record time for a dwarf (probably above average even for a human!).
A Spot of Ill Fortune
Like many Journeymen of the Alchemists' Guild, Rory found himself traveling from city to city in hopes of finding either a patron or a tradesman in need of a steady Alchemist. Secretly, he also hoped to unravel some secrets of the physical world that would mark him as one of history's Alchemists of note. Sadly, he was abducted once again--this time by pirates intent on trading him as a slave in the town of Saltmarsh. Rory spent several weeks as a prisoner and laborer for these pirates until he was liberated by a group of adventurers themselves fresh from captivity.
Current Life
Rory now travels with those adventurers, confident that their exciting lifestyle will enable him to make discoveries alchemical and other.
