Effigy

Effigy is an alchemist who starts the Tower of Life quest. During the quest, he and the other alchemists, Transmute and Currency summon the Homunclus, but they torture it and threaten it. In the end, they are scared off by the creature. After completing Dream Mentor quest, casting "random" NPC contact, Homunculus may say that alchemists eventually returned, but Homunculus transformed 2 of them into unihuman and chickalchemist.
