 About Lucadeno JeggareBUFFS
Backstory
When Luca was young he was a quick-footed atheltic boy, you sought to follow his brothers footsteps and become a great warrior one day. A an accident when riding one day ended that hope, the boy was rendered bedbound and crippled. He lay in bed wishing he were someone else, and something whispered back, granting him strange powers he did not entirely understand. Still, he recovered over time, left only with a bad left leg, able to support his weight but slow and stiff. Luca is first and foremost a Jeggare, family is everything to him, and he works hard to keep his name unsullied, and House proud and strong. With a brother to fight, and a second to run the docks and count ledgers, crippled Luca, with his strange gift, has set himself to finding a different way to contribute to his house. He learned to watch and listen when he could not walk or run. He learned to hear the smallfolk and servants talk as he lay abed, and learned to see them when other highborn lords didn't notice. As he has grown into his powers and adulthood he has learned when to blend in and when to stand out. Luca learned mostly to find out things for his older brother, and heir to the house, who had always loved him far more than his father had. Luca became the eyes and ears of Jeggare, and fell in with the House's butler, who also served as his lord's spymaster and Master of Information. Luca has grown tall and thin, with a shock of curled auburn hair and a vaguely elven frame reminiscent of their distant 'uncle', the famed Varian. He walks with an exagerrated limp and carries a cane, for it is well known that Lucadeno Jeggare cannot walk without its aid and he works hard to maintain that lie. More than all that though, he has learned the art of wearing faces, be it that of clean-shaven, crippled and courteous Lord Lucadeno Jeggare, or rough and tumble beggar informant Luca the Gull, or his newest primary guise. Indio Brusar, initiate of Asmodeus. His latest persona was crafted with a specific task in mind. The politics of Korvosa are treacherous, and Luca's sister has been struck with curse that leaves her catatonic and abed, all of the families fortune unable to purchase a cure to her curse. Luca has his suspicions about the culprits, prime among them the Arkonas, and he has begun to deal with all sorts of uncouth and criminal scum, beleiving the Arkonas have some link to the criminal underworld of the city. He seeks the truth of the attack on his sister. He seeks vengenace. But he also seeks a cure, and is working to earn the trust of the church so that he may contact a powerful devil and make a pact to return her to health and unveil his enemies. Luca the Gull is involved with many criminal endeavours, but increasingly with seditionist elements. He seeks to oppose the regime, and its oppressions. For oppresion is bad for trade, and no-one benefits more from trade and equality more similar to the Magnimaran model than the wealthy merchantile Jeggares. House first, an old creed that Luca takes seriously in all things. Appearance

As a full-round action, you can touch a helpless creature and shift your aura to that of the target.

You must be at least 15th level before selecting this revelation. Bridge of Veils (Su): You summon an near transparent, glowing bridge. The 10-foot-wide span touches the ground at a point adjacent to your position. From this point it can extend in any direction for 10 feet per oracle level. The path persists until you have crossed over the bridge or for 24 hours, whichever is shorter. You may summon a bridge of veils a number of times per day equal to your Charisma bonus. Should the bridge be attacked, treat it as a wall of force. Lengthened Veil (Su): Whenever you are using a spell of the polymorph subschool it is doubled in duration as if affected by Extend metamagic. This does not increase the level of the spell, but these spells cannot be further extended. You must be at least 11th level to choose this revelation.
