KAIMIN, Tobaris

Human/Male
Occupation/Status: Lyahvi Shek-Pvar

Born:
683-Azura-06 (Hirin/Nadai), in Tashal, Kaldor, the 3rd child of Kalar Kaimin, a priest of Save-K'nor.

Family:
Tobaris' father was expelled from his church after an accusation of heresy, and disappeard in 693. Tobaris' Mother died in childbirth, and Tobaris was raised by his father's cousin, Lydran Kaimin, a Lyahvi of minor accomplishments, in Nurisel, Melderyn. Tobaris and Lydran had/have a fairly good relationship, although Lydran is a bit jealous of Tobaris' superior talents. Estrangement: 50/average.
Tobaris has one older sister, Myel (born 679) and one older brother, Kalath (born 680). Myel married a Melderyni diplomat and is living in Berema (she practices medicine as a non-profit sideline. Kalath is a warrior who has served in Tharda, Melderyn and Ivinia and who now has his own mercenary band operating mostly on the Salt Route and Noron's Way. Tobaris has not seen any of them for years.

Background:
Tobaris was accepted into the Nurisel chantry in 696 under Viran Karvas Anasiron. He was an apt pupil and was made Satia-Mavari in 702. After independently developing three Lyahvi spells (all of which had been had been previously developed by other Shek-Pvar), and submitting to his chantry several letters apparently written by the great Genin, he was declared Shenava in 704. Tobaris travelled to Berema where he studied with Viran Kulda Meselas, and visited Lepridis at Telumar for several weeks.
From 704 to 716, he was intermittently resident at the Nurisel and Berema Chantries. He spent some of his time looking for a suitable place to build his "tower of gems", a personal sanctum he has been planning for at least a decade.
Tobaris has in insatiable fascination for illusion and other forms of enchantment, and has difficulty ignoring effects he encounters in his travels. He can be easily distracted by virtually anything new to him. People regard him as absent-minded. He has little cash but he has a charming personality and his friends seem to enjoy playing host to him. He has travelled widely in Harn, Emelrene, Alagon, Palithane and Trierzon, and has visited Sherem, Midgaad, and Yashain. He usually travels with one or two companions, to protect him and to remind him to eat and perform other basic functions that he might otherwise forget.
Tobaris causes those who encounter him to want to travel with and protect him. This is actually a minor psionic talent of which Tobaris is unaware. The "geas" acts with great subtlety and is hard to detect.
