Istvan was someone who had crawled up from a life of destitution in the slums of a major city to find the love of his life, only for her to be murdered and him being powerless to stop it. His quest, apart from the pre-defined adventure path goals we were on, was to gain power and influence, and ultimately find the Philosopher's stone, and revive his lost love through magic (he was  atheistic and not wanting to be beholden to any gods). Unfortunately for him, his path to power was experimenting with various alchemical forbidden lore, and he ( thanks to the Master Chymist prestige class) developed a Jekyll and Hyde MPD. He never saw his story arc end (TPK in a deathtrap type dungeon) but it was my tinkering with a character with circumstances completely unlike mine, who grasped for any power he could, and in the end would find the cost of trading easy power for hard work and persistence.</p></blockquote><p></p>
