Before the serenity of the temple, the Tabaxi- a creature of boundless curiosity and quick hands made a comfortable living as a charlatan, his silver tongue and nimble paws serving only his own purse. His natural gift for misdirection, honed in shadowy alleyways and crowded marketplaces, was eventually exposed during a disastrous attempt to swindle a devotee of the Silent Order. Rather than punishing him, the Elder Monk saw not a criminal, but a raw, kinetic energy that could be purified. Taken from a life of selfish deceit, the Tabaxi was stripped of his former name and his old vices, his restless energy redirected through grueling, disciplined training. The scars of his former life remain, manifesting as lingering temptation and a distrust of wealth, but in the blur of rapid motion and quiet contemplation, he has begun to forge a new identity, now known only as Bronze Shadow.
