When Zyren was young his father was exiled from Kyonin, after killing a member of the nobility in an act of vengeance. Ashe, Zyren's father, eventually returned to Kyonin a hero, having worked with a group of adventurers in Varisia to defeat a great threat to the world. Since then Zyren has felt the need to live up to his father's legacy. Zyren sees the Pathfinder Society as a gateway to heroics. While the society itself is not necessarily heroic, its members are often thrust into heroic circumstances and Zyren hopes to be there when opportunity strikes.
Zyren's mother comes from a long line of wizards. Magic runs deep in their blood and when Zyren showed signs of magical talent he was sent to apprentice with his grandfather.
When Zyren joined the Pathfinder Society he was quickly drawn to the Dark Archive for the unprecedented access to arcane lore. Despite the more mercenary nature of many of his compatriots in the archive, Zyren believes in the work the Dark Archive is doing, and in his own ability to contribute to that work.

Arcane Bond (Ring) (1/day) (Sp)
A bonded object can be used once per day to cast any one spell that the wizard has in his spellbook and is capable of casting, even if the spell is not prepared. This spell is treated like any other spell cast by the wizard, including casting time, duration, and other effects dependent on the wizard's level. This spell cannot be modified by metamagic feats or other abilities. The bonded object cannot be used to cast spells from the wizard's opposition schools
Arcane School Specialization
Specialty School - Abjuration
Opposition Schools - Illusion and Enchantment
Protective Ward (+1 deflection, 7/day) (Su)
As a standard action, you can create a 10-foot-radius field of protective magic centered on you that lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Intelligence modifier. All allies in this area (including you) receive a +1 deflection bonus to their Armor Class. This bonus increases by +1 for every five wizard levels you possess. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.
specialization rules:
A wizard can choose to specialize in one school of magic, gaining additional spells and powers based on that school.
A wizard that chooses to specialize in one school of magic must select two other schools as his opposition schools, representing knowledge sacrificed in one area of arcane lore to gain mastery in another. A wizard who prepares spells from his opposition schools must use two spell slots of that level to prepare the spell.
specialist wizards receive an additional spell slot of each spell level he can cast, from 1st on up. Each day, a wizard can prepare a spell from his specialty school in that slot. This spell must be in the wizard's spellbook. A wizard can select a spell modified by a metamagic feat to prepare in his school slot, but it uses up a higher-level spell slot.
