At 287-years-old, Guntir is the oldest member of the party. His past is full of aliases, alibis, and a series of scams and cons that span nearly 200 years. While attempting to steal from the Order of Might, Guntir was caught, and to avoid execution, conned his way into joining the order. Unable to escape, he completed his clerical training, and holds a resentful relationship with Kord. 

It has been a long time since Guntir has been able to use the term friends, and through the losses the party has sustained, it is becoming clearer that Guntir, through his rough and somewhat crusty exterior, values the group a great deal. 

Shae came to the party searching for The Staff of Twisted Fates, an artifact of three parts, said to be able to turn aside "a blue star falling from the skies." She has accompanied the rest of the group out of a sense of convenience thus far, her monastic training and quick temper making her slow to trust. 

After bringing the group with her to the Xinyi Monastery, and with the guidance of the woman she considers a mother, Shae is beginning to see that there may be larger things at work, and has begun to work closer.
