Abunan views himself as a master diplomat. He was a frequent visitor to the temples of Elfaivar in his youth, and he he spent much time in discussion with priests of both smaller and bigger temples, always managing to charm his way through their differences. He is a worshiper of all the gods, and they all grant him a small measure of their power. Ever since the Great Malice, he has traveled to other lands, met their clergy, discovered their gods, and formed alliances with friendly spirits.

He views the temples as the most important venue of diplomacy - between the various gods - but he also tries to resolve the differences between people, and of course, he has ambitions to mediate between the different nations. He is always eager to form alliances, with both gods and mortals. Over the past century, he has lived among the Risurian skyseers - who, he discovered, had whisked away one of his sisters and saved her from the genocide she would otherwise have faced - learning from them, but also managing to teach them. With his desire to travel and put his diplomatic skills to use, he was eager to join the RNC when it opened 30 years ago. With the recommendation of the skyseers, the RNC was willing to take him into their ranks. He had been on a long diplomatic mission in Danor, meeting Danoran spirit mediums in the process, until he was asked to come back immediately when King Aodhan was assassinated.

1. How long have you been on the force? (FYI the RNC is 30 years old. You start off at the bottom of the seniority list, so if you are a veteran, why haven't you advanced?)

Abunan was interested in joining ever since it opened, but 30 years isn't a lot of time for an eladrin. He waited to join until just a year ago, and since then has been in a diplomatic mission in Danor.

2. What prompted the RNC to recruit you, or, if you applied, why did they accept your application?

He applied, and the skyseers vouched for his integrity and skill.

3. Why did you accept/apply? (Note: Candidates submit to extensive magical mind reading before they are accepted. The RNC has never been infiltrated by a spy, so no double agents allowed. You loyalty to Risur is beyond reproach.)

Abunan wants to put his diplomatic skills to use, making peace, and he is interested in traveling to new places and visiting temples.

4. Brief character sketch. Honestly, just your ability score characteristics is fine.

(Low Strength) Abunan is weak, and anyone who knows him is used to an occasional request for aid in opening jars or moving crates.
(High Dexterity) He can move quickly, and when called, is there almost instantly (owing in part to teleportation abilities).
(High Charisma) He can skillfully stop any argument between his colleagues, an attestation to his diplomatic skill.
