However, he is a number of other things as well; politically intelligent and gifted with a silver tongue the man is capable of talking himself out of practically any situation. This somewhat a-linear approach to problem solving, however, fits in great with his laid-back personality as he is more than willing to trick others into doing his share of the work.

In his childhood, Galen had an extensive and thorough education, tutored by masters in just about every subject under the sun. Academia cracked open easily at his nimble prodding and revealed to the boy its many vast secrets, including some rather well-kept knowledge concerning the practice of mystic arts. Primarily known as a public speaker and orator, upon reaching adulthood Galen sought out a living as a sage of sorts, residing in taverns and other places were low-lifes were want to frequent, plying his trade as an information broker for profit and prestige. In addition to this trade, he worked as a sort of make-shift alchemist on the side, having no formal training, but still selling powerful tinctures of unknown effectiveness. During this time, however, he also developed, in addition to his street smarts, a rather crippling addiction to the past-time of gambling in all its various forms. An avid player of dice and cards Galen lost just as much as he earned in games of chance, being known far and wide for his bad luck in all such endeavors. Hearing of a party setting out for ancient treasure, the sage seeks to join them with the intention of brokering information, willing to risk his livelihood for the chance at the infinite riches denied him in his birthright.
