Pathfinder: Saga of Fate/Severus Pentai

Severus Pentai is a half-elven sorcerer who is descended from naga. He draws upon the power of his serpentine bloodline to use in battle. He is also an aspiring Pathfinder Chronicler, and can rally his allies with heroic tales.

Backstory
Severus Pentai was born in the middle of the first Inner Sea War (which took place before the events of Saga of Fate). His father was a human soldier from Brevoy, while his mother was an elven cleric. The two met when Severus's mother was sent from Kyonin to Brevoy, which was under seige by the demon king Solomon Aomahr and in desperate need of healers. Severus's father fell in battle before Severus was born, but his mother stayed in Brevoy to continue tending to the wounded. Even after the war, Severus's mother stayed in Brevoy to raise him with her newfound love, another elven cleric who had come to Brevoy with her.

Once Severus reached his teenage years, his mother told him about his bloodline that dated back several generations, the bloodline of the naga. From that point onward, Severus began teaching himself how to channel the power of that bloodline.

Severus delighted in listening to the skalds that would visit his village and was very interested in the adventures that they told about. Severus developed a passion for storytelling and began telling stories he read about in books at the local tavern, which eventually caught the eye of a member of the Pathfinder Society, who suggested that he try to join.

Severus now had two goals: master the power of his bloodline and join the Pathfinder Society.

Unfortunately, his progress was halted when an evil and powerful elven fire elementalist named Darien came to Brevoy and established his base of operations in a large tower not far from Severus's village. Darien used an army of fire elementals to take over Severus's village and would use the people there for magical experiments (which often resulted in the subjects being burned to death).

After enduring several months of Darien's oppressive regime, Severus had enough. He used his newly developed public speaking skills to attempt to stage a revolt against Darien. The rebels were not strong enough to overthrow Darien, however. Darien punished Severus for leading this rebellion by sending him to a mining prison in the Five Kings Mountains (which was ruled by an equally oppressive leader).

Personality
Severus's defining trait is his inspiring charisma. He would prefer not to run away from a fight, but he sees no shame in retreat if it's the best strategic possibility. Severus hates tyranny of any kind, and the stories he prefers to tell are those of brave freedom fighters who fight against all odds for what they think is right. In addition, Severus is quite well-learned, given all of the reading required for his training as a Pathfinder Chronicler. Severus's greatest shortcoming is his insecurity about his appearance. Severus wears a scarf and smoked goggles to cover up his facial features that are a byproduct of his serpentine heritage.

Appearance
Being a half-elf, Severus has semi-pointed ears and is somewhat attractive. His hair is midlength and white. Due to his serpentine heritage, he possesses green, serpent-like eyes. In order to look more normal, Severus prefers to wear smoked goggles which make it difficult for others to see his eyes. He also has serpent-like fangs, so he wears a scarf over his face not only to help him endure the cold weather of his homeland, but also to make sure no one sees his fangs when he talks. For clothes, Severus wears a large brown fur coat with green accents.
