The Faustian Alchemist is an Hour of the Fourth Fansus, and one of the youngest Hours, too. He is an Hour of revolution, idealism, and suffering. It should be noted that his ideals are not comparable to the ideals of [[The Unfettered]].
==Description==
===History===
The Fournancier commonly takes the form of a musculous fire-scarred man, sometimes naked, often clothed in the rags of the clothes of those who were sacrificed for him. Like other Hours, he can take other less-human forms too, like a cloud of ash and blood; however, he definitely prefers being seen the same as other humans.
===Principles===
The Faustian Alchemist is a patron of the Alchemists and has ideals to reshape the order of the world, similar to the Demiurge, and thus represents the principle of Forge; however, he sets his priorities on the waking world, not the Mansus, which is why he is commonly in the Wake. He also represents the principle of Moth, for how much he travels, the time he and his people hid and the escape from the Demiurge, and Edge, for his scars and all the suffering he had to endure in the Furnace.
===Ideals===
Like some other Hours, the Alchemist has political ideals. His ideals are so to say anti-classist, marxist, and he directly opposes the New Mansus, as it is bound to be a threat to his ideal society.
# '''Ascension: Reforging: I have surrendered a loved one, I have burnt them. I will learn, and people will understand.
# '''Ascension: Reforging: I have surrendered myself, my right hand, my left foot, my tongue. We will all hear.
# '''Ending''': I have surrendered all of me, and I have learned much. Now, I will seek my end in this furnace, but I will be immortal: When I visit the New Work of the Fournancier, I become a Long, favoured favored by the Faustian Alchemisthim. I will live, and nothing will be taken from me, nor will anything be taken from this world anymore. Together with my compatriots, in the Golden Flame and in the Mansus, I will travel the world and reshape the order of the people for the better.

==Items==
===Ingredients===
===Rites===
* Rite of the Furnace
==Relationships==
* [[The Demiurge]]: the Faustian Alchemist and the Demiurge are known to be enemies, mainly due to threat that the Faustian Alchemist is to the New Mansus. Due to the differences in their practices and the similarities in their ideals, one often accuses the other to simply lust for power instead of salvation.
* [[The Unfettered]]: While while the Faustian Alchemist does not directly oppose the Unfettered, their ideals contradict in a lot of ways, mainly due to the Alchemist's beliefs in authority as a tool, rather than something oppressive.* [[The Navigator]]: in the Time of the Furnace, The Navigator has earned a favor from the Fournancier
==Secrets==
* there From the Time of the Furnace, a guiding light prevented dissolution in a moment of weakness in exchange for a favour.* The Faustian Alchemist ascended with 19 already, yet one might think that he acts older than other Hours; on the other hand, he might only try hard.* There is a reason why so little of the Alchemist's name Names are female, or rather, why so many are male. That reason lies in the Fournancier within, and it is for sure not a fear of women.
