Believing that he was an Alchemist right before the Val is a lie, and a product of overgiving with hypnotism. He is really around 750 years old instead of 500ish Rays locket holds more secrets than just what he looked like. Perhaps it is a key of some sort, a mental castle, that once understood will release him from the delusion that he was an Alchemist. He was once a hypnotist and recruiter for the Ruv'na in its early days. Perhaps even the forgone leader. Though through overgiving, it muddled his hypnotic abilities and made him obsessed with Alchemy. The obsession going as far as creating a false history for himself becoming completely delusional about the truth of his existence. Aha! Moments. (Little insights about Ray from Ray) He hides behind a mask of ‘cool, calm, and collected’ claiming that he fears little to nothing. Though under it all, it one would look closely enough, they would see he is a rather insecure character. His emotions and capacity to feel have been muddled by his age and his disenchantment with the human race. He finds them both interesting, and boring at the same time. Though part of does want to rejoin the human race, to be human again, and to feel alive. Ive been mistakenly thinking that his goal, his purpose, was only to create his own child, to make a homunculus, because he was unable to have one in life when in fact it goes deeper than that. Although Ray says and can rant about the human creations or right and wrong and of good and evil, claiming not to adopt any of their silly mortal thoughts, they are rants of jealously. He envy’s the perceived ‘worms’ and desperately clings to notion of human life. He is the biggest hypocrite, saying one thing yet doing another. This can be seen in his denouncing of human worth, yet his unstable desire to create life, and his study of life and the soul say a completely different thing about him. He also has other motivations, such as the finding and restoration of knowledge because he views knowledge as power and power as ‘get what he wants’ and ‘get what he wants’ as purpose. He is really a self-absorbed character, I believe. He views his 'purpose' as having control over any and all situations he is put in hence why he often overgives when using hypnotism. He feels he needs order and control to feel 'alive' again. Part of creating the child is to feel those emotions which were lost in the sands of time so long ago. If we get down to the nuts and bolts of this, he is really a tragic character stuck between the undeath and the stud of life. Conflicted between his perceived power and abilities as an undead and the ‘joys’ of being human once more, but more so conditioned by the tests of time, by his very survival, to grow dark and dreary of the world around him causing the character to have such a negative view of present Mizahar compared the greatness pre-val. Though he is first and foremost an Alchemist; a label that he has carried despite the changing times… To be continued when I have another 'aha! moment' with this character.
