--------------------
Eskander Sforza is a half-Varisian half-elf. His family is part of a wandering Varisian troupe of merchants and travelers who cross the lands of Varisia from Riddleport to Kaer Maga to Korvosa.
He is a man haunted by memories of someone who isn't him. Best as he can tell, the memories are of an ancestor possibly, possibly a great-grandfather, but the line blurs sometimes in his head, wether it is his memory or someone else's memory. He calls the voice in his head "grandfather" or "Kyrill" and what he knows of them (or has been able to piece together) was that they were some kind of wizard who focused on war, which is why he knows exactly 1 wizard spell . Eskander's psychic energy isn't super controllable by him consciously, he sort of focuses and sometimes things happen, but not enough for him to consider it his calling. He sees himself as a researcher and scholar, and that's how he fits into the Pathfinder Society. To learn more about history, magic, and the voice inside his head which sometimes tells him things, and sometimes doesn't. I see him eventually learning more about his psychic phenomena and how they manifest, but that's going to take some time and experience. He brings an understanding of the Thasilonnian language with him, learned from "Grandfather" and his scholarly pursuit interest. I don't necessarily see the conversations with the voice in his head as always being positive, but I feel like sometimes that trope of negative voices is overdone, so there will probably be some back and forth between those viewpoints, and I encourage the GM to feel free to take liberties with that.
He expressly doesn't share about the voices in his head, since he thinks people will judge him for it. It would take a large portion of time and trust with a group to bring that out.
