Kintargo has always been a cosmopolitan city, even after the ascension of House Thrune; a place where those with free spirits could not just survive, but thrive. Pakuzzo's family had emigrated a generation ago from Vyre, and the young tengu had taken to Kintargo like a duck to water. Although coming from a modest background, he considered the entire city his own backyard, and would frequently roam the width and breadth of the urban landscape, sticking to the rooftops and ledges to avoid harassment from both the law and the criminal element alike. Frequently, his only company were the birds that claimed the higher roosts for their own, and Pakuzzo felt a kinship with such creatures; like him, they were free to roam where they pleased, and while he lacked the rare gift of wings that blessed some tengus, this connection with the urban wildlife bloomed into a reverence for nature that would eventually allow him to tap into some of its power.

As Pakuzzo entered adulthood, he made his living as a guide and courier, doing odd jobs for various groups on both side of the law, as his ability to navigate the upper reaches allowed him to move swiftly from one area to another. It was through dealing with a such wide variety of clients that he became aware of how unique Kintargo's climate of freedom was compared to the rest of Cheliax, and exactly how precarious that freedom was in the face of Thrune. He started to become more politically involved, and it was through like-minded activists that he learned of the Silver Ravens, their actions to keep Kintargo free during the Chelish civil war, and their subsequent erasure from the official histories by the current government. The stories capture his imagination as much as they fueled his resentment of House Thrune; how glorious it would be if the Silver Ravens could return and throw off the shackles of the diabolists!

With the events of the Night of Ashes having gutted his revolutionary contacts and the ordering of martial law, Pakuzzo is feeling furious. He wants to do something immediately, and when he hears of the protest against Barzillai Thrune in Aria Park he plans to attend and add his voice to that of the people. Kintargo must remain free, and if the Silver Ravens can't do anything about it anymore, he damn sure will.

Standing at a little over four and a half feet tall, Pakuzzo is colored black from head to toe, with a lighter shade on his beak, claws, and feet. He dresses in typical tengu style (that is, a mish-mash of bought, stolen, and scavenged clothing and fabric materials accented with various baubles) over worn studded leather armor, all of it ensured to provide freedom of movement and silence. He often keeps a longbow and quiver slung over his back and a scimitar in a scabbard at his belt. His eyes are a bright and sharp golden orange.

Pakuzzo's animal companion is a giant raven named Vincenzo ("Vinz" for short). Standing as tall as a dwarf with his wings folded, Vinz spends most of his spare time preening his feathers and prying loose masonry from buildings when bored, and enjoys eyeballs of all types as a delicacy.
