Rowan is from the small warren of Grantehome in the Brazen Peaks of Katapesh. Rowan showed an early aptitude for sneaking and skulking about the warren, but it wasn’t until his coming of age at 42 that he gained control over his innate psionic abilities. The young gnome made his way to the Bazaar of the Bizarre where his skills were vied for and traded amongst the various guilds and traders. All was well until a job crossed the wrong influential trader and Rowan was forced to flee for Absalom and some semblance of safety.
