Haagenti
The Whispers Within, Lord of Transformation
PFS Legal
Pantheon
Haagenti (pronounced hah-GEN-tie) is the demon lord of alchemy and change. He is seen by some as the most reasonable and least destructive of the demon lords due to his numerous helpful creations, the most famous being the philosopher's stone which transmutes lead into gold, and this wondrous item is used as his religious symbol. This perception of his urbanity is, in fact, a deliberate ruse: Haagenti is just as evil and destructive as any other demon, but more subtle than most. His wondrous alchemical devices, although seemingly beneficial, are only granted to those who would employ them for evil and destruction. Haagenti's other creations include alchemist's fire, the demonic retriever, and the secrets of Fleshwarping magic.

Chaotic EvilA chaotic evil character is driven entirely by her own anger and needs. She is thoughtless in her actions and acts on whims, regardless of the suffering it causes others.
In many ways, a chaotic evil character is pinned down by her inherent nature to be unpredictable. She is like a spreading fire, a coming storm, an untested sword blade. An extreme chaotic evil character tends to find similarly minded individuals to be with—not out of any need for company, but because there is a familiarity in this chaos, and she relishes the opportunity to be true to her nature with others who share that delight. - Areas of Concern

Chaotic NeutralA chaotic neutral character values his own freedom and ability to make choices. He avoids authority and does not fear standing out or appearing different. In extreme cases, he may embrace a lifestyle entirely suited to himself— living in a cave near a city, becoming an artist, or otherwise challenging traditions. He never accepts anything at face value and makes up his own mind rather than blindly accepting what others tell him to do or think., NENeutral EvilMotivated by his own needs and wants, a neutral evil character is without conscience, acting only for self-gratification. He might surround himself with the trappings of cults and evil, but does so purely because it brings him closer to sin and wickedness. While a lawful evil person is inclined to bargain and a chaotic evil one to lash out, a neutral evil person is inclined only to look out for himself. In many ways, he epitomizes evil, since he has no clear loyalty to anything except absolute self-interest., CE
An extremist neutral evil character tends to be a loner, since he has either betrayed or slain those who came close to knowing him.Chaotic EvilA chaotic evil character is driven entirely by her own anger and needs.

Practice alchemical transmutations, pursue knowledge whatever the cost, use your inventions to exploit others
Anathema
Aid Yamasoth, allow morality to interfere with research, destroy knowledge
Obedience
Practice the Divine Experiment by following the procedure to transmute lead into gold; this process normally requires a philosopher’s stone, but for this obedience, the thaumaturge can substitute any material for lead—it’s not the actual transmutation that functions as the obedience, but the act of going through the motions. Gain a +4 profane bonus against transmutation effects.Boons

Novice Philosopher (Sp)
Altered State (Su)
It is said that Haagenti introduced the concept of mutagens to the first alchemists at the dawn of time. Regardless of the veracity of this legend, your worship and faith in the Whispers Within grants you the ability to create a mutagen, as per an alchemist of a level equal to your Hit Dice – 4 (maximum 20th level). If you could already create mutagens, any mutagen you create from this point onward no longer applies its penalties to ability scores; in addition, any ability score increased by your mutagen increases by an additional 2 points.
Immortal Chymist (Su)
You have mastered the legendary techniques of Haagenti’s Divine Experiment. Your body no longer physically ages (although you continue to accrue mental bonuses), and you don’t die from old age. If you were middle-aged or older, your body returns to its prime— you retain your mental bonuses but lose any penalties to Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution gained from advanced age. Each day, when you perform your obedience, you create a small amount of mystic quicksilver; if mixed with a potion of cure serious wounds, it creates a dose of oil of life. Just like that created by a philosopher’s stone, if this oil is sprinkled over a dead body (a standard action), it revives the dead creature as per true resurrection. Alternatively, the quicksilver can be used to convert up to 1 pound of lead into gold (worth a maximum of 50 gp). This quicksilver loses its potency after 24 hours or when you next perform your obedience.
