Iacin

Iacin the fox was born the runt of his litter. Not so small that he would be helpless and abandoned, but he was the smallest of his brothers, and he was the weakest. he needed their help to hunt, and while the brothers would certainly make sure their little brother was fed, they mocked and taunted him for it, until he finally ran away. Being the smallest fox, he had to be the cleverest, and he exemplified the magical cleverness of foxes. Iacin learned that he could get humans to do things for him.

So Iacin found humans incredibly confused (when they weren't scared) of the magical fox. He used this to get what he wanted - and a few farmers were willing to give him eggs to make sure he didn't sneak in and eat their chickens. Iacin soon found more and more things he could trade the locals for, until the local wise-woman had Iacin begin raiding the local regios and auras for the vis that he could find easier than the aging woman. He established a good relationship with the town, and considered himself quite the brilliant fox.

Iacin's hunting and survival skills are a bit low for a fox of his age, because he always gets other people to do it for him nowadays. Iacin loves bartering and negotiating with people, because they let him prove his cleverness. He usually guides people into the local regios to get rare things, or out of them when they get lost.

Iacin's lab total is 24 Intellego Vim/Animal, once you convince him to be your friend for life.
