Explore, Report, Cooperate (Wounded Wisp): You have an excellent sense of what makes an exemplary Pathfinder. As a free or immediate action, you may consider whether a particular action you name—such as subduing but not killing an enemy, befriending an NPC, or recovering a particular item—would help realize the goals of the Pathfinder Society. The GM then informs you whether the action’s impact would be positive (contributes to meeting a secondary success condition for the scenario), negative (opposes the secondary success condition), or negligible (neither contributes to nor opposes the secondary success condition). If none of these three options accurately reflects the action’s impact on the PC’s fulfillment of the secondary success conditions, the GM may respond with a phrase of five words or less. Once you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.

Prized Find (Wounded Wisp): You were instrumental in uncovering a cache of lost records that the Pathfinder Society can use to explore hitherto unknown sites. If you would fail to earn a Prestige Point at the end of an adventure due to failing a success condition, you may cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet to remind your superiors of your past breakthroughs and earn the 1 Prestige Point as if you had successfully fulfilled the condition. You may only use this boon if you would also gain at least 1 XP for completing the adventure (0.5 XP if you use the slow track advancement option).

Inside Knowledge (Consortium Compact): As a former member of the Aspis Consortium, Magali Delroya is well informed about the organization’s activities, and she shares some of her information with you. You gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (local) checks about the Aspis Consortium and can roll such checks untrained. You can cross this boon off the Chronicle sheet to take 20 on a single Knowledge (local) check about the Aspis Consortium.

Lord Avid’s Recommendation (Consortium Compact): Lord Avid is impressed that you managed to complete your mission without using his writ, and he speaks highly of your discretion. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus on all Charisma-based skill checks against nobility while on the Isle of Kortos. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet to lean heavily upon your connection to Lord Avid. If you do so, the circumstance bonus on one such Charisma-based skill check increases to +4, and you can apply it while interacting with anyone on the Isle of Kortos.

Axe Beak Companion (Quest for Perfection, Pt3): As long as you have Chronicle sheets for all three parts of the Quest for Perfection campaign arc, you may take an axe beak as a loyal mount or companion; the Chronicle sheets need not be consecutive or in order, but all three must be present in the same character’s records. If you possess a class feature which permits you to take an animal companion or a mount that progresses as an animal companion, you may add the axe beak to your list of legal and available companions. You must present a copy of Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 3 in order to use an axe beak companion as if it were allowed as an additional resource. Other than provide access to this animal as a choice of mount or companion, this boon provides no mechanical benefit.

APPEARANCE
Talon is about six feet tall and athletically built. He looks strong, fast, and tough … like most kellids. He has the kellid dark skin, dark eyes, and straight black hair. He doesn’t move like most kellids, though. There is a quiet reservation about his bearing and movements, at least most  of the time. And other than the greatsword strapped across his back, he doesn't wear the usual leathers and scars of a kellid. Instead Talon is outfitted in a soldier's utilitarian clothes, armored lightly with a simple lamellar cuirass, and carries a spell component pouch and spellbook satchel at his waist. 

PERSONALITY
• Talon is accustomed to being an outsider, and views the world from this perspective.
• He is quiet, reserved, introspective, and naturally self-critical. Conversely, this makes him open-minded and non-judgmental of others.
• A young man who values discipline, but has little patience for beuracracy or needless rules 
• Words are flimsy things. Easily spoken. Easily twisted. Easily forgotten,  ignored, or taken back. Talon isn’t a man of words, and uses few of them.
• A man’s actions define him. They can change lives. They can shape empires . They can alter the course of history. Talon is a man of action.

HISTORY
Talon has always been an outsider, even growing up in a city as diverse as Kenabres. He remembers almost nothing from his earliest childhood, and most  of his early formative years were spent as one of the countless refugee ch ildren in the orphanages of Kenabres, courtesy of the constant war against  the ‘Wound. Few of the other orphans were Kellid, and none still also had e lf-blood. 

• Doesnt remember his earliest youth, just images of demons, blood, and flame.
• Was found as a baby by a crusader, he was one of the few survivors of a demon attack. 
• Crusader brought him back to Kenabres, leaving him in one of the orphanages for war refugees outside the walls. 
• Despite his size (or maybe because of it and his obvious kellid heritage), grew up being bullied by some of the local kids. Learned to react to violence quickly, though he was nonviolent by nature.
• Talon also learned tough lessons about the flimsy, fickle nature of words in the beuracratic orphan system. 
• The crusader—an aging war wizard who felt sympathy for the boy—checked in regularly, and noticed the boy's sharp mind and interest in books. He cultivated these interests, introducing Talon to the thrill of magic.
• Talon wasn't any kind of arcane savant, but he worked at it with a single-minded focus. And as his arcane talent and aspiration grew, the crusader knew that, because of his other responsibilities, he'd never be able to appropriately foster the boy's talents. So he called on a favor to a local Mage and Pathfinder, who took the boy on as an apprentice.
• For a few years, this was Talon's life. Enduring lines and lies from an orphanage system. Avoiding bullies when he was quick enough, and surviving beatings when he wasn't. And all the while spending every moment looking forward to the time he got to spend with his mentors: the crusader and the pathfinder. He learned magic. He learned to wield the greatsword. He learned the value of self discipline. And he learned to filter life through a grim personal code.
• In a rare show of boldness and cunning, a squad of demons made it into the city walls. For the second time in his life, Talon found himself in a fight for his life against demonic attackers. This time, though, he was able to fight back. There were no heroics, just grim, bloody survival. And when the violence passed, Talon still stood. Bloodied and exhausted, but he stood.
• When he worked up the courage, he approached his mentors. He wanted to grow, to learn to harness magic to forge himself into a weapon against those that preyed on the weak. The only remaining choice was this: crusader or pathfinder. It was an easy choice for Talon. He was no soldier. He was a scholar, a learner, and a wizard. He would be a pathfinder.
