Background: Anchéad was born to a clan of elves that separated themselves from civilization in order to better develop their innate magical skills. When Anchéad was 12, the clan adopted him to a travelling merchant-priest of Hathor from Orision, because Anchéad was born without any magical aptitude. For the last 8 years, Anchéad has learned from this priest how to survive in a civilized world, travelling from temple to temple, and bringing with them the wares of their journey. The priest, who Anchéad refers to as “Ka’hem”, also taught Anchéad that it was wise to be able to produce your own wares, and something that is both lucrative and useful. Anchéad, being a very skilled archer, decided to learn to craft weapons and armor, specifically focusing on being a bowyer/fletcher.
At the age of 20, Anchéad and Ka’Hem discovered that Anchéad had the blessings of Hathor upon him. Ka’Hem further taught Anchéad how to share the love and revelry of Hathor with others, and while Anchéad wasn’t as gifted a priest as Ka’Hem, he has his own set of specialized gifts granted by Hathor, and is often times charged with hunting beasts to cook for the revelry. Being a priest, healer, and traveler, Anchéad has heard all the stories of heroic adventurers and the tragedies of how the healers are always the first to be killed... This is another reason why Anchéad really focused on perfecting his archery.
Ka’Hem also brought Anchéad into the fold of the Bellflower Network, and in 8 years, the both of them traveled all of Golarion. The last journey they took together was an attemot to escort freed slaves from the border of Cheliax all the way to Qadira. After they got into Taldor, they were ambushed, and Ka’Hem sacrificed himself to kill the last Hellkinght. The slaves didn’t make it to Qadira, but disbanded into the wilderness, leaving Anchéad alone with the body of the man who had become his father.
Anchéad traveled to the legendary city of Absalom because it was the only place left that Ka’Hem hadn’t gotten to visit in his long life. Anchéad spread Ka’Hem’s ashes in the pit surrounding the Starstone Cathedral. He has noticed that one of the one of the freed slaves has followed him from Taldor, and Anchéad feels sad for them because he hasn’t had enough time to found any Bellflowers in Absalom yet, though he is seeking them out.
