Personal history
Midas (surname unknown) was born in a small hamlet in Northern Bukatelia in the year 205. His parents were a couple of drow that managed to escape the Underdark multiple years back. His family settled in the small hamlet in the year 204, with Midas being born just a year after. During his childhood, Midas tended to play by himself. Not only that, but he was fascinated with brewing "potions" as a hobby.
In the year 340, when Midas was 135, he was sent off to Romashire City's Hybrida Magica University to study alchemy. During his 10 years of constant studying as well as trying to run a small business himself, he learned a great deal of alchemy from his professors. Around this time, he met an odd deep gnome woman named Eleanor Montgomery, whom he hired as a worker for his street-side potion stall. In the year 350, Midas heard of the Grail Corruption Event in Seredena, an event that plunged the world into constant cycle of war every half-century.
While Midas' small business was doing alright and helping him pay his tuitions, he knew that he'd have to think of something fast. 50 years for an elf was like 2 years for a human and he knew that his business was not going to stay afloat. Unfortunately, in the year 400, the 2nd Holy Grail War occurred and Bukatelia was one of the inducted factions. While he sold most of his potions to the Bukatelian Grail Warriors, the country was ultimately defeated by Seredena Nation. If there was any time to take action, now was the time.
In the year 401, Midas and several alchemy graduates founded The Midas Guild. From there, Midas made himself the Guild Leader and would slowly expand his business of potion and medicine selling across the city and even into other small towns in the country. His wealth accumulated and so did the chip on his shoulder.

Midas has a Doctoral Degree in Alchemy as well as a bachelor's degree in business. Both of these came from the Hybrida Magica University.

Quotes & Catchphrases
"The art of alchemy is no less of an art than sculpting or painting. If a genius painter can make a masterpiece of a painting, then I can make a masterpiece of a brew."
