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.
