A closely trimmed beard and his well-kept gear show a fastidiousness and carefulness that belie the colorful Vasirian scarves that he wears about his leathers in the fashion of the Sczarni. Dark, intelligent eyes keenly take in his surroundings, as one hand drifts towards a well-worn oiled leather pouch that seems to hold a squarish object about the size of a deck of cards. Sterelin is rarely seen without his pet parrot on his shoulder or nearby, with brown and red plumage the beautiful animal seems oddly intelligent and calm for such a bird. Background:
Born near the docks of Magnimar to a long line of Sczarni fortunetellers, Sterelin grew up in the city with the goal of staying with his Clan and family and serving them as a fortune teller and agent as had his family for ages. Thus, his mother and grandmother trained Sterelin in the Harrowing and Sterelin sat long hours with them learning the ways of the fortuneteller, and agency in a Szcarni family. Unfortunately Sterelin’s grandmother died on Sterelin’s 16th Nameday, and his grandmother left him her old Harrowing cards. Mystically, the old deck attuned to Sterelin and began to tell his fate with great, and unfortunate, alacrity. For a full month every time a Harrowing was performed by or upon Sterelin the same cards fell in the same way – and no interpretation could be reached except that Sterelin was under a fateful curse. The Harrowing, repeated in such specificity, indicated that Sterelin must leave the city that was his home and forswear his relationship with his family. If he did not, great misfortune would befall all around him and eventually Sterelin would die in misery. One week after the Harrowing first showed the curse, Sterelin’s youngest sister was trampled by a runaway carriage and left crippled. The following week a slate shingle fell and crushed his mother’s shoulder. One week later, his uncle died of a stroke. The Harrowing still told misfortunes ahead and Sterelin fled the city on the first boat he could find. For two years Sterelin wandered, and as long as he did not spend much time in the same place, his own Harrowings bore normal tidings, and he could predict the futures of others. As soon as he grew comfortable and began his journey back home, however, the cursed Harrowings would return, and if he stayed to long ill-fortune would follow. To solve the issue, Sterelin took work as a sailor, learning the craft easily with his keen mind, and learning the ways of the world. Whenever he arrived in a port, Sterelin sought out hedge wizards and preachers to see if they had heard of a curse such as his, but no luck. Sterelin would spend several months on a ship sailing and learning, but eventually the ship would he sailing towards his home - and as soon as it did the cursed Harrowing would begin again. Sterelin would have to find a new ship and a new start, uprooting himself again. Eventually, Sterelin made his way to Absalom, knowing that the Szcarni had a presence there but that it was unaffiliated with his family. Sterelin planned to join the Pathfinders and wander the world seeking his fortune, and never return to Magnimar or his family again. Soon after making his choice and coming to peace with his destiny during his journey to Absalom, an oddly intelligent parrot came to Sterelin, and he immediately felt a magical bond to the creature. Soon the innate talent that had manifested in his supernaturally accurate Harrowings bloomed into more potent magic, and so his parrot shared the name Harrowing. As his magic blossomed, Sterelin began to realize that his fate had not been so unkind, though he still missed the idea of a normal life. Since accepting his fate, Sterelin's Harrowings have been clean and deadly accurate and Sterelin only knows peace when he is aboard a ship and without a home - as long as Harrowing is with him. As Sterelin's Harrow magic has emerged, his ability to read the future and affect the luck of those around him, he has become a sought out companion and friend. Those who travel with him have quickly realized that having him around brings fortune to them and misfortune to those who oppose them, and Sterelin’s uncanny vision of what Portents fate will visit upon him is often uncannily accurate. With the twistings of fate and fortune surrounding Sterelin, he has worked hard to join the Pathfinders and see where his path may lead him from here.
Personality:
Considering himself cursed, there is a dull acceptance and depression that once permeated Sterelin's existence. Knowing that he can never truly have a home or return to his family and clan used to make Sterelin a dark, brooding presence with a tendency towards bitter sarcasm and pessimism. This attitude sometimes returns when Sterelin gets homesick or angry, and his temper is something that many know to avoid. However, with his newfound magical skills and his significant abilities both physically and intellectually, and his attitude has improved though he would never be described as having a sunny disposition. Not able to have a true family or home, Sterelin feels very possessive and protective of his close friends and companions. While he is not overly personable he is someone who can be relied upon to do his part and help his substitute family however he can. By promoting the goals of his companions and helping them gain wealth and notoriety, he knows that his own wealth and notoriety will grow as well, and that is the life he seeks as a Pathfinder. When not otherwise occupied, Sterelin has a habit of constantly shuffling and cutting his Harrow deck, often mindlessly performing tricks. This deck is also often the source of Sterelin’s rare glimpses of excitement – fortunetelling. As he does this, his parrot, apparently named for the deck, always grows calm and looks closely at its master. When performing a Harrowing and having the cards fall as they are destined to and not showing his curse, Sterelin feels reconnected to the life he could have had, and he trusts with certainty that his new magical skills and attunement with his Harrow deck give true fortunes.
