Oleksander's parents were part of a small Scoia’tael commando in Redania, his mother, Alisia, being a healer and his father, Estek, a scout. He was nearly a year old when they were both killed in battle, leaving him orphaned. Edyta, his mother’s closest friend and also healer for the same commando at the time, decided to abandon the Scoia’tael ranks so she could raise Oles safely.
A curious and studious child, Oles picked up the basic notions of medicine and herbalism from Edyta early on, and then studied alchemy under Master Kalkstein and further honed his medical skills and knowledge in Oxenfurt.
Currently, he runs his own shop of alchemical ingredients and works as an apothecary and nurse at Shani’s clinic in Oxenfurt. He also provides local Scoia’tael commandos with medical and alchemical supplies, and he does so of his own accord and without asking for anything in return-- a secret he guards closely. An even greater secret is that Oles cursed himself with lycanthropy while poking around ancient elven ruins and studying tomes of dubious origin.
His hobbies include reading and scientific research in general. He’s more interested in alchemy than battlefield medicine (which Shani does a lot of, and whenever she’s out in the field, he begrudgingly manages the clinic for her.) At first, his interest in alchemy was a mere scholarly curiosity, but after becoming a werewolf, he zeroes in on finding a cure for himself despite the generally accepted belief that it can’t be achieved through alchemy alone. He also spends a fair amount of time exploring ruins and old, forgotten places (it’s how he came across the cursed scrolls that brought lycanthropy on him.)
Though he manages to keep up the appearance of cool and collected, he’s actually a recluse and a nervous wreck, ultimately well-intentioned but rather insolent and short-tempered, with no people skills whatsoever and no patience for nonsense. Most people see him as a bore and a stick in the mud, which is something he cherishes and actively preserves, especially after becoming a werewolf.
RED DEAD REDEMPTION: Werewolf, posing as human | Apothecary, (al)chemist
Oles is a werewolf in human disguise, living in Saint Denis. Here, he runs a small apothecary shop and researches the intersection between magic and chemistry. When he's not working in his laboratory or trying to hide from monster hunters, he's often roped in by the Braithwaites to aid their moonshine business by helping perfect their flavors and formulas.
DRAGON AGE: Werewolf, city elf | Apothecary, alchemist, nurse
Oles lives in and travels through Orlais. Rather than having a fixed location for his shop, he goes where his work takes him, all while trying to get his independent research acknowledged by the academic world and the University of Orlais. Once the Inquisition is re-formed, he enjoys the efforts at Skyhold, providing his medical and alchemical skills and knowledge.
