Brotch Calus

Brotch Calus is an Imperial commoner and retired alchemist, who lives his life of leisure in his house in the southeastern part of Bruma. He offers advanced training in Alchemy.

He rises late at 10am and spends almost the entire day inside his house until he goes to bed again at 2am of the next day. At 9pm, he finally leaves and takes the short walk down to Olav's Tap and Tack, where he will take his dinner until midnight. He will offer his services at all times except when he's asleep, but his house will be locked between 10am and 9pm, meaning that you'll have to break in to get training. He will offer training during his dinner at Olav's, and his house is unlocked between midnight and 2am, so those are the times when it is safe to approach him.

He wears a set of common middle-class clothing, a quilted doublet, a pair of linens and doeskin shoes. He carries around his house key and a small amount of gold.

When you meet him for the first time, he will introduce himself briefly and get to the point: "Brotch Calus, Alchemist. Advanced Training, available by appointment." On the city of Bruma, he will give you a bit more information, but will still be a man of few words: "I'm retired from public practice. I only take students in Alchemy to support my hobbies."

As an advanced trainer, he can provide you with the necessary reference for the Alchemy Master Training quest. Once your alchemy skill level reaches 70, speak to him, and choose the "training" option, which will trigger the quest as well as the following dialogue: "You're beyond what I can teach. You might think about consulting Sinderion; he knows more about Alchemy than I do. Head to Skingrad, and visit the West Weald Inn. I believe he's currently employed there. In the wine cellar, in fact." If you ask him again on the same topic, he will redirect you to him once again: "Sinderion in Skingrad is the elf you should speak with. He's a very talented Alchemist."

Just as he will send advanced alchemists to Sinderion, lesser alchemists will send him their own students as they advance in skill. S'drassa will tell you that "I am the best alchemist in Leyawiin. But if you need Advanced Training, you'll need Brotch Calus in Bruma or Ardaline in Bravil.".

Notes

• Brotch was meant to spend the majority of his day at the removed Bruma Arena. Unused rumors speak about this passion of his: "He must really know all the fighters by now. And, from what I've heard, he knows a good bit about alchemy as well.", "He loves the place. I've also heard he's quite an accomplished alchemist.", "It certainly seems to be his passion. I understand he used to be quite an alchemist. I wonder if he'd teach me more about that.". His main AI package, which keeps him in his house for most of the day, is named TrainerBrumaArenaDailySpectator9x12. This means that he was supposed be there for 12 hours of the day, rather than just inside his house.
