1. Who is Marni, The Mad Scientist?

Thus began his bizarre and repulsive experiments, earning him a reputation as being "mad" among the people. When people in a town near his lab started to go missing, he was presumed to be the culpritand was attacked by the sorcerers and sorceresses of Tarif. He went missing afterward, but re-appeared with a new lab in a small forest nestled on the Mountain of Eternal Winter.
