The Potter Wasp Sorcerer

Born as a humble ceramic artisan in a forgotten medieval village, the man who would become the Potter Wasp Sorcerer discovered an ancient grimoire buried beneath his kiln and became utterly consumed by the arcane knowledge within its pages. Convinced that mortality was merely a constraint imposed by lesser minds, he abandoned his craft and spent centuries pursuing increasingly profane rituals, viewing human subjects as nothing more than vessels for his ghastly experiments—living ledgers through which he could document the terrible transformations wrought by his dark incantations. His obsession evolved into a grotesque fusion of his former trade and his newfound sorcery; he developed a method of entombing his victims within clay vessels while implanting a parasitic seed of pure magical essence that would consume them from within, serving as a chrysalis for his consciousness when his aging body finally failed. Each successful transmutation was meticulously recorded and bound into a new grimoire, creating a library of forbidden knowledge that grew with every tortured subject and every failed experiment that pushed the boundaries of what flesh could endure. Over the centuries, he has cultivated an ever-expanding collection of these macabre vessels hidden within a sealed vault, each one a testament to his relentless pursuit of immortality and a monument to the countless souls he has hollowed out to fuel his unholy studies. The Potter Wasp Sorcerer has transcended the limitations of a single lifetime, perpetually shedding one corrupted form for another, an eternal parasite wearing skin like a potter wears clay.
