About Dayenn Naight

BACKGROUND

Spoiler:

Dayenn Naight has, through his studies, become increasingly interested in the power of the mind. He is convinced that much of human behaviour can be understood without reference to the concepts of 'good' and 'evil'. While he isn't foolish enough to believe that 'evil' does not exist in the world, he does believe that much of what humans do that is called 'evil' could actually be explained through better understanding of how the minds of these 'evildoers' worked.

Moreover, his study of the human mind and its functions (as evidenced by his ranks in 'bluff', 'sense motive', 'diplomacy', 'gather information', and 'hypnosis') have convinced him that evil can be cured through hypnosis. He is now on the lookout for those who could prove his theories. He is particularly interested in those who have had difficult or traumatic childhoods as he believes that it is in this childhood trauma that the source for much abberant behaviour can be found.

    BACKGROUND
    Dayenn Naight studied in various bardic schools but found himself drawn to a traditions of research and experimentation that put him outside of the fold. He has currently abandoned his formal studies in search of some like minded individuals.

    Spoiler:

    While mechanically a beguiler, Dayenn insists that there is nothing magical in his spells. He claims that his power over the mind comes from his authoritative tone and training in hypnosis.
