Nixie the Alchemist

Title: Purveyor of Volatile Delights
Role: Nixie is a tiefling with a penchant for explosions and bright colors. She runs a small, cluttered shop in the Spire's shadow where she sells experimental potions and alchemical components. Her products are often more powerful than the standard Spire fare, but they come with a significant risk of side effects (like turning blue or growing extra fingers).

Secret Motivation: Nixie is a spy for the "Disrupters," a group of mages who want to break the Bank’s monopoly on magic. She uses her shop to distribute "Aetheric Disruptors"—small devices that can temporarily disable the Bank’s tracking spells. She is also secretly brewing a "Dragon-Bane" toxin, using ingredients she suspects the Bank is trying to suppress.

Adventure Hook: Nixie’s shop is raided by Inquisitor Nox’s men, and she barely escapes. She finds the party and asks them to help her recover her "Master Brew" from the evidence locker in the Spire before the Inquisitor realizes what it actually is.
