Jera hails from the nation of Rahadoum, a land where religion is forbidden. However, it is perhaps in the nature of the young to defy authority and seek that which is forbidden. Whenever he was able, young Jera would sneak away from his home to explore nearby ruins from the ancient Jistka Imperium. In doing so, he learned many valuable skills, especially in dealing with the timeworn but still deadly traps the ruins held. In full defiance of, and perhaps because of, the law, Jera also began to collect the holy symbols and relics of the dead religions he found within the ruins. But most improtantly, Jera found a scroll that, when he deciphered it, taught him to use his innate magic to activate the magic of the relics he found. The power of the relics had largely dissappeared over the years, or perhaps he wasn’t performing the technique correctly, so he was only able to coax a few of the relics into performing minor spells, but Jera was still fascinated. Hungry for more knowledge of lost cultures, when Jera reached adulthood, he left his home and traveled to Azir to try to join the Pathfinder Society. Impressed with his skills and collection for one so young, the Venture-Captain sent him on to Absalom to be trained as an initiate. There he learned much more about exploring ruins, and about the civilizations they were once part of. Jera was interested most in the rune magics of ancient Thassilon, and when he completed his Confirmation, he requested a post in Varisia, so he could learn more about the destroyed civilization.

The most immediately noticeable thing about Jera is that he wears the symbols of at least a dozen various faiths somewhere on his person. He wears most of them openly, with the exception of Norgorber, whose symbol he secrets away, as befits the god. While young, he is clearly an experienced explorer and traveler. He wears studded leather armor, a long coat, and a bow at his side.
