The poisoner is a master of concoctions that can harm those that displease them. They may have started learning herbalism, only to find that the darker side of nature can be so much more entertaining than just healing others. Typically assumed by those on the wrong side of the law, poisoners may use their craft for political agendas, personal gains, or simply the highest bidder.
