Well, I didn't learn about him during my pledge period. But in alchemy, there is the philosopher's stone, which is used by alchemists to make the elixir of life. The elixir of life can remove impurities, turning anything into gold. If someone drinks it, it can make that person immortal (like in the movie). During my pledge period I learned about how famous alchemists tried to create the philsopher's stone or tried to find it. But I still thought it was cool how she used real stuff in the book.
