Fairly Quick Take ... the characters birth story featured shape shifting as boy running from a witch after having his "wisdom" magically blessed.... bird forms feature in a lot of these bard shifting tales so black harbinger seemed very necessary.
likely not optimised... but not so nasty as the hybrid attempt ... Trained skills make him very much the historian and religious leader type. Prescient build for the Seer Role element.
