The daughter of a guard of the Bazaar of Sails, Galyna practically grew up in the shadow of the Irespan, fostering a fascination with the city's ancient history. Though attentive, her single father's job left the yung girl with a large amount of free time, and little supervision, leaving her to her own devices, namely, exploration.
Galyna possessed the dangerous combination of fearlessness and luck, and soon found herself combing through the dark corners of the ancient ruins both within and outside of the city, developing a knack for finding interesting objects and relics amongst the ancient wreckage, objects that often fetched a pretty price in the Bazaar.
The fascination with relics and ruins led her to the Pathfinder Society, allowing her to travel throughout Varisia in search of fascinating objects, so she signed up right away. Bringing with her a sharp eye and keen ability to distinguish fakes from the genuine article.
Her explorations would soon teach her something else, that the dark corners held threats the average denizen could not even imagine. Twisted nameless things from an era of darkness and evil, gone but refusing to be forgotten. Things that would endanger the innocent if someone did not ensure they stayed in their holes.
Finding herself once again stationed in the city, she began to patrol the outskirts, seeiking to keep the denizens of the dark, within the dak, away from the unwitting citizens living in the midst of unknown horrors.
