===
The son of a Galtan man (Roger de Roche) and a woman from Taldor (Euphemia Albercroft), Gavin de Roche grew up in the shadow of minor nobility. His mother, having preferred the attentions of some itinerant sellsword, was disowned from her family not long after Gavin was born. She left Oppara with the sellsword and, toddler in tow, moved to Absalom.

By the age of 12, he had heard of all the wonderful (and some of the more decadent) aspects of Taldan nobility. It was a station he yearned for, but did not know how to achieve. At the age of 17, he decided to visit his family in Oppara and convince them to accept his mother back into the family again. A few curt words with his aunt's husband convinced him that this was futile. The only good that he got out of his visit to Oppara was finding a young puppy that he named Buster.

He sought other means, hoping to serve Taldor through the Pathfinder Society. A chance encounter with Gloriana Morilla set him on the path, with promises of a title should he help the Society restore glory to his mother's homeland.
