About Copernicus Mandrake
Copernicus was born in Augustana, Andoran, in the year 4786 AR. His parents were poor but respected tailors who had used their shop to disseminate Darl Jubannich's "On Government" and pass along secret messages for revolutionaries sewn into the linings of coats. During the People's Revolt against Cheliax, Copernicus' father actively took up arms against Andoran's oppressors.
After the revolution, Copernicus' parents returned to civilian life and moved with his wife to Almas, Andoran's capital city. There they prospered by securing a contract to produce uniforms for the Andoren military and soon had two children, Copernicus and his sister. While his sister became an artist, Copernicus took advantage of their nation’s new freedom from class restrictions by apprenticing himself to Sir Agamemnon, a paladin of Iomedae.
After completing his training as a squire, Copernicus joined the Pathfinder Society to help those in need and spread the tenets of freedom and equality espoused by his homeland. He hopes that by doing so, he may prove himself worthy of joining Andoran’s elite Eagle Knights.
Broad-shouldered and blond, Copernicus descends from Ulfens taken as slaves by the Chelaxians in Varisia. Because of his ancestry, he invests a personal interest in the Andoren fight to abolish the slave trade in all lands. He has also internalized his master's values of integrity, service, and excellence, and everything he does is to advance the cause of freedom and justice.
