History:
1. Birth
Born in a horrible garundi ghetto outside Eto, near a withered tree called Avsavaan, for which his family takes their name.

2. Parents
His mother Ekkia died giving birth to him. His father was a hide tanner named Aandi, whose poor health was equal parts due to his unwholesome profession and the terrible living conditions of the shanties in which he was forced to live. Muesh was forced to tend his often bedridden father more often than his father tended him. All through his childhood he dreamed of escape--wandering town to town where he would be welcomed as a guest under the garundi laws of hospitality instead of being forced to live like a slave as the lowest caste in city full of garundi families.

It wasn't until years after he'd left and found out that his father had died a horrible death with no one to watch over him that he finally realized how selfish he'd been.

3. Siblings
He had no brothers and sisters, as his birth caused his mother's death, but he always found himself surrounded by relatives--all of them trying to suck him down into their nightmare, trying to chain him to a failing family line he wanted nothing more than to escape from.

4. 100,000 Gold
He would probably try to return it home somehow, to help improve the conditions around Avsavvan--to try and atone for how badly he had failed his family and how selfish he'd been.

5. Hated
He hates his past most. He left his father behind to go be a performer, to travel from town to town enjoying the hospitality of other garundi clans rather than endure his family's shame as low caste settlers in other families' holdings. He wasted his teen years in debauched chaos and evil and has gained a strong distaste for that lifestyle. It was when he found out that his father had finally died without him to take care of him that he really realized what a terrible son he had been.

7. Appearance
Wears flowing gaundi garb in the golds and greens of his healer aspected sect of Nethys worshipers. He keeps his hair shorn, either short cropped or shaved bald depending on the season. His newest acquisition is a masterwork taldoran spear, black polished shaft with an alchemical silver tip--with a small flag of a chalice and trumpet on a red field.

8. Beliefs
He was taught magic by an old cleric of Nethys in Sothis who turned his life around. The cleric recognized in the young bard a spark of magic that just needed tutilege--as well as the knowledge that as all magic is bound to Nethys, that all magic must serve either the destroyer or healer forms of Nethys. Muesh was full of misery and darkness because he was consumed by the madness of the destroyer. Muesh dedicated himself to the instruction of the temple as well as to the path of the healer form of Nethys. It's the process of devoting himself to the use of magic to heal and improve the world that has helped him in his personal struggles against his past.

11. Speech
While he knows the dances and music of his people--his greatest passion has been the arts of rhetoric and philosophy. Not just persuasion, but a restructuring of beliefs, a reconfiguration of thought, to demonstrate the correctness of your ideas. It always struck him as a particularly lofty and noble art, a remedy for his years as a dirty child of poverty. Thus he has taken years to affect a sumptuous turn of phrase in his deep baritone voice to accent the fluidity of his gestures and the vividness of the imagery he evokes.
