BACKGROUND
--------------------
In his long-past days of youth, Mavro had grandiose dreams of adventure and discovery. Though he had but a single volume of the Pathfinder Chronicles in his possession, in it he found the inspiration to begin his adventuring career. Armed only with his wit, as a young man he left his home in Taldor, seeking passage to Absalom, home of the Pathfinder Society. Stepping foot before the gates of the Grand Lodge, Mavro passed the pathfinders’ tests, becoming an initiate. It was at the Society itself that Mavro refined his combat techniques, trained by some of the best warriors in the nation. It was also where for the first time in his life, he felt the power of magic flow from his fingertips. At the time, it felt for him as though a dream were coming true. Filled with determination, years later he ascended to a fully-fledged pathfinder himself, passing his confirmation. The long years that would come to pass would dull his enthusiasm.

Life as a pathfinder was all that Mavro had ever dreamed of, giving him an opportunity to travel all over the world. Unfortunately, it was also so much more. Over the span of five decades and countless missions, the magus watched many of his friends perish. As he grew older he became more and more aware of the petty squabbles among the Society’s factions, smearing the admiration he once held for the organization. More than once Mavro argued with his superiors, addressing what he saw as nothing more than pointless faction politics. He often reached the verge of being expelled from the Society, but it never came to pass. Nonetheless, any hopes he had ever had of becoming a venture-captain were dashed. Embittered by the experience, Mavro went on with his business. By then an old man, the Society tried to pressure him into retirement, a fate that he almost embraced wholeheartedly. However, the magus found that he had but one regret – during all his years with the Pathfinder Society, not one discovery of his had ever made it into the Chronicles. Eager to leave even a small mark on history, Mavro decided to undertake one last mission – a chance to unlock the secrets of Thassilon itself. Certain that the fruits of this endeavor would be enough to finally satisfy his nostalgia, he made the trip to Ustalav. Only after getting there did he realize that he was the only one from the Society to arrive…
