Eugene

Eugene is the fourteen year old son of Hirlo Rhoken. Like her, he is an alchemist.

Appearance
Despite being fourteen, Eugene is still quite short for his age. He has fair skin and dark hair. His eyes are grey blue and there is a smattering of freckles across his nose and cheeks.

Personality
Talkative, stubborn, and determined, Eugene has a large amount of curiosity, which manifests in his creativity and impulse to experiment. Despite his intelligence, he can be rather naive and clumsy, leading to a lot of blunders in his work, however he has good intentions and plenty of compassion.

Biography
Eugene lives with his mother on the outskirts of a remote village in Steina. She isn't as present in his life as most mothers of a teenager would be, as she spends most of her time at the Mandragoda Labs, a place with Eugene holds in high regard.

A couple of years ago, Hirlo got Eugene an apprenticeship with Tordim Coalsunder. During this time, he created a prototype for the first lightbulb. Coalsunder eventually threw him out a week before he met Maiwen, Tiberius, and Valentine, fed up with his many blunders. Eugene hired the adventurers to help him recover his prototype. He seems to be unaware of the truth behind what his mother does at the Mandragoda Labs, as he adamantly refuses to believe what she did to Valentine.
