The Avari's are, as of the arrival of Askar's father, of marriage related to the wealthy banking family, the Goldenfields, the goldsmithing monopolists of Andoran. Askar grew up, in most respects, a perfectly fine boy of the upper class, attending school, acting respectful, making eye contact and the like. The only thing that might have been considered queer about him was his particular affinity for animals over humans, and his particular fascination with birds.
It was not until his adolescence that he seemed to develop a distaste for his family, both the Avaris (deeply embedded in the political system of the republic) and the Goldfields (cunning and, in his eyes, abusive of liberty). He began to read papers, books, and journals that had surfaced before the Peoples' Revolt, inspired by the teachings of Desna, whom was often accredited for the overcoming of incredible odds during the revolt against Cheliax.
He began to long for a life outside of his family, outside of politics and business, out of Andoran itself. At the age of twenty-one he came of age, but instead of fulfilling the expectations of his family, he became heavily involved in the church of Desna. Feeling his deeds there were futile, however, he later joined the Pathfinder Society, hoping to help the world without bureaucracy or politicking. He came to believe that the Decemvirate, the ten leaders of the Society, were the unbiased of the Society, and quickly developed a great deal of respect for Venture Captain Ambrus Valsin, perhaps because Askar's calm, thoughtful manner plays well with him.
Askar has been part of the society for one year, but has not seen much action. The Isle of Yune seems like an opportunity for him to make a small but relevant effect.
