Venomancer Lore & Background Story
Lesale Deathbringer was once an herbalist who brewed one toxin too many. The poisons seeped into his body and transformed him into a living plague. He no longer distinguishes between medicine and venom — to him, they are the same substance applied with different intent. His toxic nature finds a kindred spirit in Viper, another creature defined entirely by poison — though Viper was engineered for it, while Venomancer stumbled into it by accident.
