Origin: Iman
Background:
The bastard born of a low class prostitute on the streets of Iman, Tal was done little favor by his father, whomever he was, in being left to fend for himself on the streets by a disinterested mother that clouded her latent abilities for certain sorts of magics, never developed, with narcotics that also helped her not particularly care about her circumstances...or care for her son, for that matter.
Tal was of sterner stuff built; he fell in with other children that stole things for others as a means of putting food in their mouth, though as he grew older and was recognized by a magic user that went by the street name of Whistle for his potential, he was put under the Whistle's wing...but used for much the same purposes.
Tal was not content with Whistle's crumbs, nor willing to simply stay when it became apparent that Whistle knew little magic and would never be a decent tutor. Tal's mother finally took too much of her beloved drugs and died, freeing the boy from the tenuous ties of the streets. He left, looking for a tutor...and when it became apparent that he'd need money to secure one and the materials to increase his knowledge, he signed himself into a mercenary unit.

Skills:
Tal is a competent magic user that specializes in the use of effects from Meanas – he can make shadows dance and bend to lengthen shadows, but little more at the moment. As befits a former street thief, he has a good eye for weakness and marks. He is fairly decent with a knife – he knows where to stick it and he's not shy about twisting it in someone that thought they'd found a weakling.
Reason for joining the Fifth Echelon:
Need of funding to continue magical education and development of abilities.
