Years before the [[Invasion of Arelon]], Hrathen was poisoned by a political enemy with a poison that had no known antidote.{{ref|b|e|c|18}} Hrathen went to Forton for help and was cured. Hrathen kept in touch with Forton via [[Seon]], ordering potions, antidotes, and the like. Hrathen once commissioned a potion that could simulate the appearance of an [[Elantrian]] who had been taken by the [[Shaod]] after the [[Reod]]. Hrathen used this potion both on himself{{ref|b|e|c|30}} and [[Sarene]]{{ref|b|e|c|38}} to create the appearance of a miracle healing and gain leverage on [[Eventeo]], Sarene's father and king of [[Teod]].{{ref|b|e|c|45}}

Forton was a man of contradictions. While he was a devote follower of the [[Jeskeri Mysteries]] and was considered a mystic of sorts in his town, he also professed to be staunchly [[Derethi]].{{book ref|Elantris|18}} His knowledge of Derethi doctrine was impressive, but still lacking in some areas, such as his belief that [[gyorn]]s could simply pray to Jaddeth to have their words directed to anyone with a seon.

It is unknown how exactly Forton creates these potions, where he learned his skills, or whether there are other people who can also make these potions. There was no one in [[Opelon]] who could match Forton's skills in making antidotes, elixirs, potions, and poisons.{{book ref|Elantris|18}} He was so skilled and such a useful tool that Hrathen overlooked the fact that he was a heathen.
