Mental characteristics
Personal history
As a teenager, Zanetta served as an apprentice to a misanthropic gnome alchemist named Tarvik Shuttleworth, a bespectacled boffin obsessed with discovering the secret of the legendary philosopher’s stone. Shuttleworth’s lackadaisical approach to health and safety at work resulted in a terrible lab accident that left Zanetta’s hands badly scarred by acid.
The gnome’s refusal to pay for divine healing or even give Zanetta more than a few days off to recuperate left his apprentice fuming. Two weeks later, Zanetta murdered Shuttleworth, stole his formulae, and blew up the lab.
Zanetta is now available for hire as a deadly assassin, nicknamed the Toxic Terror because she uses her dangerous alchemical creations to dispose of her targets.
