ArtistA square office with stone walls decorated in traditional Mayan style except for one wall which holds a large black tapestry with a blood-red pentagram stitched onto it. A side cabinet holds numerous bark-paper books and scrolls covered in Mayan script. In the center of the room an opulent desk made of Honduran Mahogany wood with several leather-bound books and scrolls with Mayan script on it. An armchair made of Honduran Mahogany wood with soft velvet cushions embroydered in traditional Mayan style behind the desk. Tohil, an anthropomorphic granular poison frog in traditional Mayan attire sits in the armchair holding a bark-paper book covered in Mayan script. A staff made of Ceiba wood with a green peridot gemstone inset at the top leans against the desk next to Tohil.
Born as the son of healers, Tohil learned all about herbs from an early age. His parents were respected for their knowledge and their dedication to their patients, but they were feared in equal measure because of the power their knowledge gave them. Whenever a patient died, even when his parents had done everything they could to help, they were blamed for the death. Rumors circulated, accusing them of poisoning people. Then, an epidemic struck and though his parents worked tirelessly to help as best they could, many patients died. Public opinion turned against them and they were driven from their community and forced to seek refuge in the forest. Tohil's mother never recovered from the shock and betrayal and she died of a broken heart. Anger and grief festered in Tohil and his father until all they could think of was revenge. Together, they started poisoning wells and doing all the things they had been accused of before. Tohil's father was eventually caught, but Tohil found his way to the School of Death, where he was welcomed as a fellow outcast from society. He is currently traveling the world to discover and catalog potent herbs and their uses.
