About Meriui bin MirceaDescription: The human before you could almost pass for a typical Osiriani man. He has the dark hair, dark eyes, and olive complexion. He has the thin build so common among the normal population. He even has the pale-colored, light robes that everyone wears as protection from the desert heat. He still stands above the crowd, literally, though, at roughly 6' compared to the more common 5'4" of the normal Osiriani. The wrinkles in his face reinforce his history of exposure to the desert, but some are clearly laugh or smile lines. He seems relaxed, possibly even comfortable, standing there in his desert garb. There is no sign of urgency or concern about him. All of his gear is well-worn from exposure to the desert, but appears to be well-kept and serviceable. Background:
Mircea, a young Varisian man, decided to follow an unusual career path for culture. He became a scribe. After a few years learning and gaining experience, he managed to get himself employed by the Pathfinder Society. Almost immediately, he was transferred to an Osirian chapterhouse. He eventually fell in love and married a local girl, Taschepenmaut. They had 2 children, Meriui and Rekhkhetsa. These boys were raised within the structure of the Pathfinder Society. The search for connections to the past, documentation of discoveries, and the importance of making such information available to others was impressed on both boys very early. Rekhketsa followed their father’s footsteps, and focused on becoming a librarian, which allowed him to work with their father and to expand his knowledge. Meriui was encouraged to do the same, but he insisted on being more active, and ended up joining expeditions looking for new artifacts and additional information which could be added to the Pathfinder collections.
Meriui found that the knowledge he gained on ancient traps and security procedures helped reduce the dangers faced by Pathfinder expeditions, while the linguistics and history that had permeated his childhood meant that the expeditions he joined always seemed to find or catch more than their peers did on similar expeditions. In short, he built a great reputation amongst the Pathfinders in Osiria for being a good luck charm. Not being recognized for his skills has been very frustrating for Meriui, but it has allowed him to accompany older Pathfinders with solid histories of individual success instead of being sent as an expedition leader himself. Meriui is always ready to go searching for something else which was lost in time. He’s nervous that sooner or later somebody will catch on to how much he’s been doing, and he will be given responsibility for an expedition instead of being able to simply advise somebody else who can get both the credit and blame for what happens.

Level 7 is Rogue 6 – Rogue Trick (Guileful Polyglot - Terran, Infernal, Aklo, Draconic)
Level 8 & 9 are Pathfinder Chronicler (Want at least PC Level 3) For the following levels I am uncertain about whether to go with more Rogue, more Pathfinder Chronicler or a mix, honestly. Potential Feats (in no order): Skill Focus (Linguistics), Weapon Finesse, Focused Shot Additional languages to learn as Linguistics increases: Aquan, Auran, Ignan, Undercommon |
