The wizard did not find him apt at learning the methods of an acrane magic.  yet he noticed the child had unusual mental affinity as well and powerful will, that started to manifest in telepathic energies. He was sent to be recruited and trained  by the monks of the Golden Mask in their holdfast on the eastern cliffs facing the great sea of the Seawall mountain range. They were a select society who has a mastery of powers of the mind & body, as well as  subschools of psi affinity. The young shifter Daelos exhibited powers of will and seemingly arcane gifts compared to the other monk youths.  His training focused more on physical/mental/spiritual attunement then the combat associated training that most of the other young monks participated in.  His Sensai sent him to the school of the Trifold Mask which was the echelon center of training for gifted monks who exhibited extraordinary mental powers  and psi affinity.  Here he became indoctrinated into the Order of the Trigon, which were a secretive Psi order affiliated with the Golden Mask monks.He was carefully trained in how to unlock his psionic powers, and trained in working with others in the team -- fighters, warriors, scouts, etc. He was trained eventually to use hiw powers in self defense as this was a warrioir mink and warrioir psion academy.  It was assumed that most students would hire out as mercenaries and freelance operatives to private employers, official Breland military, and cities from other lands for both personal funds as well as contributions to the Orders. He travelled around Droaam with several mercenary bands on special missions for both private and official jobs. All of his experience afforded him the title of a soldier of fortune, though he was a psionist tactician moreso then soldier.  He ran with a mercenary band calling themselves Raugur's Ruiner's who worked for a mage of Breland on many missions to find ancient ruins and relics.  The mercenary company eventually ran afoul of a bandit lord who had all of their treasures stolen and paid rogues to run them out of Gilargo where they had their headquarters.  They all went in different directions and vowed to get back at the bandit lord eventually in Gilargo.So he ventured back to Breland seeking adventures and to further his experiences.Now he isn't exactly sure what to do, but he'd easily be influenced into joining a group of adventurers, and is always a good "team player." Not a huge ego (even though he may be an egoist): just a psionic soldier with some experience fighting, currently at loose ends, and willing to use his talents to help those who need it. Doesn't really think of psionics as anything special -- it's just his job.The tenets of the Trigon Order call for their adepts to seek knowledge in all its forms for both the Order as well as the gradual advance and enlightenment of scociety.Primary Role/Distinguishing Abilities - Party investigator and problem solver. Also his large amount of education with knowledge in arcane, psionic, historical and planar fields allows him a measure of expertise on those fields. Quirks - . His monastic and scholarly training endowed him with a very regimented schedule and habits.  He is physically and mentally attuned as a problem solver with an unerring almost mechanical thought process.  Though emotions are not foreign to him, he sees them as obstacels in the path to enlightenment.  He is concerning with seeking pure knowledge for the advancement of the Trigon Order, but also the good of society.  As a result he carefully documents all that he has seen on his travels, persons, places, & things.  He will put them into several travel guides and bestiaries for the Order. All this scholarly learning and training has repressed his human emotional nature.  He has been more and more awafre of a need to break out and "go wild" that others seem to naturally exhibit.  He is pondering whether his whole self includes the emotional side, and if that will be the real enlightenment, but he is scared of that feeling.</blockquote>
