The Alchemist is one of the bosses of Prince of Persia (2008) game who serves the God of Darkness, Ahriman. He will stop at nothing to further his masters and by extension his own goals.

History

According to the game at first the unnamed alchemist of the Ahura tribe that served the God of Light, Ormazd. Over time he grew obsessed with becoming omniscient by learning all that the universe had to offer. As time went on he grew more cold to the point he allowed no form of morality restrain him and did atrocities to gain more understanding of the universe. As he grew older he realized that when he would soon die and all of his work and advancements would be for nothing. Desperate for immortality he prayed for Ormazd to give it to him to no avail. As all seemed lost he heard Ahriman claim he could grant him the secrets of immortality but only if he would sell his soul to the dark god. To the Alchemist this was a great deal an thus accepted it without hesitation. As promised Ahriman gave him an equation that could grant eternal youth. The equation itself was supposedly so complicated it was near impossible to decipher. The Alchemist died just as he believed he was on the verge of a breakthrough but this was not a permanent death as he came back as a Corrupted thus gaining a form of immortality. Now he was more than happy as not only did he get the immortality he so craved but while he would serve his master for eternity he could also continue his work without fear.

Eventually the Alchemist, the fellow servants of his god and Ahriman themselves where sealed within the tree of life. Over time however they would escape and seek to destroy the Sacred Grounds, a man only known as Prince and a young woman blessed by Ormazd named Elika so as to secure his they would remain free since they were the only threats to their power. The Alchemist ultimately dies when his soul is forcibly cleansed of Ahriman's power thus losing the only thing keeping him alive finally putting an end to his reign of terror.

Let me relieve you of all hope.

I will not die.
