Jakim grew up in a traveling show of Varisians. It was here that he learned the ways of the bow from a cleric of Erastil that commonly preached to the audience the group drew.
The young boy took to the bow and, as his skills grew, he used his marksmanship in the troupe's show.
As he grew older, Jakim felt the urge to leave the troupe and explore the world around him. A mercenary hired to protect the troupe, an Andoran man, told him of the good work the faction was doing in the Pathfinder Society.
Varisians, a people of true freedom, cherish the idea, and Jakim was no different. The idea that there were people out there suffering under the yoke of slavery disgusted him.
Thanking the mercenary for the advice, Jakim made his way to Absalom to join the Pathfinder Society and, hopefully, work his way into the Andoran faction's plans for Golarion.
