About Gemel ValdemarBackground:
Gemel was born in Magnimar to the merchants of the Valdemar family.. His mother and father, Alyssia and Gheremul Valdemar, are traveling merchants, who generally trades between Magnimar and Sandpoint (mostly farm products and brewing to Magnimar, luxury items and specialized craftsmanship to Sandpoint). He can always find a bed at Valdemar Villa in the Silver Shore district of Magnimar (Favored Son : Tavern Owner trait)
Gemel spent his formative years travelling back and forth between Magnimar and Sandpoint with the family’s shipments. Pranks from the fey along these journeys led to him developing a wariness about possible imposters (Imposter Wary racial trait) . What makes him special is that he has memories that are not his own (Past-Life Memories). He remembers fragments of not being himself, rather of lives lived in a strange, magical, empire (Thassilon). Of being a Shoanti shaman living on the plains. Of being an elf, who’d never met a human, in a forest called Mierani… and so many more. It is from this ocean of reincarnations that his psychic abilities have sprung from ( Rebirth Discipline ). His past life memories led him into the pathfinder society, as they are exceedingly valuable when dealing with historical objects, like those the Pathfinder Society collects. When he was 17, he left Magnimar for Absalom to take his pathfinder training, and his initial ventures forth from the main chapterhouse were explorations of the Cairnlands around Absalom. He has developed a reputation inside the society of being an absolute font of arcane knowledge, even by pathfinder standards. He was invited back to Magnimar by Sheila Heidmarch, who is hoping to take advantage of his past life memories and his psychic skills in the search for the Sihedron.

Psychic Discipline : Rebirth Past-Life Memories (Ex): You add a bonus equal to half your psychic level (minimum 1) to all Knowledge checks and can attempt all Knowledge skill checks untrained. Mnemonic Esoterica (Ex): By reaching into the recesses of your past lives, you gain knowledge beyond that of most psychics. Select a single additional spellcasting class. Once per day when you prepare your spells, you can add one spell from this class’s spell list to your spells known and class spell list for 24 hours. This spell must be 1 level lower than the highest-level spell you can cast, and you cast it as if it were psychic magic (Pathfinder RPG Occult Adventures 144). You can decide to change the spellcasting class from which you draw this spell each time you gain a new level. (wizard list) Phrenic Pool : 6 = 4 (psychic lvl/2) + 2 (Cha) Phrenic Amplifications :
Will of the Dead (Su) (3ed): Even undead creatures can be affected by the psychic’s mind-affecting spells. The psychic can spend 2 points from her phrenic pool to overcome an undead creature’s immunity to mind-affecting effects for the purposes of the linked spell. This ability functions even on mindless undead, but has no effect on creatures that aren’t undead. This amplification can be linked only to spells that have the mind-affecting descriptor. Relentless Casting (Su) (7th): The psychic can spend 1 point from her phrenic pool to roll twice on any caster level checks to overcome spell resistance required for the linked spell and take the better result. Because she must decide to spend points from her phrenic pool when she starts casting a spell, the psychic must decide to use this ability before the GM calls for the caster level check. Detect Thoughts (Sp): At 2nd level, a psychic can use detect thoughts as a spell-like ability once per day. She can also expend any unused spell slot of 1st level or higher to cast detect thoughts. If she does so, she uses the level of the spell slot expended to determine the Will save DC. When a psychic gains this ability, if she knows detect thoughts, she can learn a different 1st-level spell in place of detect thoughts, losing the old spell in exchange for the new one. Resurgence (Su): At 5th level when you would be reduced to 0 hit points or fewer by an attack, you can spend 2 points from your phrenic pool as an immediate action to regain a number of hit points equal to 1d8 points of damage + your psychic level. At 10th level, this ability’s healing increases to 3d8 + your psychic level. If this healing is insufficient to bring you above negative hit points, you are automatically stabilized. If you would still be killed by the amount of damage taken, you erupt with positive energy and heal all allies within 30-foot-radius burst for the amount you healed yourself. Secret (Secret Health): Toughness as a bonus feat. Lore: At 2nd level, a loremaster adds half his level to all Knowledge skill checks and may make such checks untrained. The bonuses gained from this ability stack with those gained from Bardic Knowledge. Racial Abilities :
Imposter-Wary: Humans trained to spot fey masquerading as their kin gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against illusion spells and effects, 1 free rank in Sense Motive at 1st level, and 1 additional rank in Sense Motive whenever they gain a level. This racial trait replaces skilled.
