Tallak, often branded as Tallak the Mad, is an ulfen thaumaturge who travels Golarion protecting peasants from supernatural threats.
History
Tallak grew up in Hammerfall, a small walled village along the border between Irrisen and The Land of the Linorm Kings. As he reached maturity, Tallak brought honour to his family by following in his father's footsteps and becoming a member of the village's night watch. On the eve of Tallak's twenty-second birthday, whilst Tallak was on watch, Blizzardborn snuck into the village, and the entire hamlet was razed to the ground.
Crippled by the guilt of failure and the grief of losing his village, Tallak wandered the tundra of his homeland for months, telling all he came across of his tale. Few believed him, and it was during this time that Tallak was branded "Tallak the Mad".
Locating the Dark Archive
Whilst travelling through Varisia, Tallak heard rumour that a fragment of the Pathfinder Society's great text The Dark Archive had been lost whilst its keeper was travelling through Varisia. Keen to find out more, Tallak suspended his freelancing for a while, and made for Magnimar, where the rumour seemed to have originated. After a few weeks of investigation, skulking through abandoned buildings and dark alleyways, Tallak eventually came across an abandoned Pathfinder Society Lodge. In this ruined symbol of failed exploration, Tallak found his quarry - The Dark Archive.
The Travelling Tome
- Main article: Dark Archive diary
Ecstatic at the bounty of information this tome provided, Tallak invited three old acquaintances to join him in Magnimar, where they made good on their mutual interest in the paranormal, and started scrying the tomes many pages together. However, the archive held its own secrets.
Personality
Tallak is often inscrutable, most likely carried away by a piece of research or a new theory. When the time comes for combat however, he is possessed of a stern resolve, and a great commitment to preserving the life of his fellow man - commoner and adventurer alike.
