Years before the [[Invasion of Arelon]], Hrathen was poisoned by a political enemy with a poison that had no known antidote.{{book ref|Elantris|18}} Hrathen went to Forton for help and was cured. Hrathen kept in touch with Forton via [[seon]], ordering potions, antidotes, and the like. While attempting to convert [[Arelon]] to [[Shu-Dereth]], Hrathen commissioned a potion that could simulate the appearance of an [[Elantrian]] who had been taken by the [[Shaod]] after the [[Reod]].{{book ref|Elantris|18}}{{book ref|Elantris|30}} Hrathen used this potion both on himself{{book ref|Elantris|30}} and [[Sarene]]{{book ref|Elantris|38}} to create the appearance of a miracle healing and gain leverage on [[Eventeo]], Sarene's father and king of [[Teod]].{{book ref|Elantris|45}}▼
Forton was an apothecary of unparalleled skill.{{book ref|Elantris|18}} In fact, Forton's potions are [[Investiture|Invested]],{{wob ref|826|In Elantris, are Forton's "potions" magical, or is he using natural substances?|date=Jan 17th, 2016|event=General Twitter 2016}} likely drawing on the power of the [[Dor]]. 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.
Forton was also bound to a seon, allowing for instantaneous communication across the world.{{book ref|Elantris|18}}
