'''Background (Astronomer):''' Raphael studies the stars, and gains free ranks in Profession Astronomer as a [[Flavorful Skill (3.5e Trait)|Flavorful Skill]].  He also placed his ability score from leveling in [[Wisdom]].

'''Born Thief''' Apply free ranks in Escape Artist and Hide.

'''Flaw ([[Antisocial (3.5e Flaw)|Antisocial]]):''' Raphael suffers from a -6 penalty on Bluff and Diplomacy, and cannot take ranks in either.  Nor can he benefit from the [[SRD:Leadership|Leadership]] feat or Aid Another.  Non-hostile creatures start one step less friendly to a minimum of Unfriendly due to his unpleasant nature, but this effect does not apply to PCs.

The surly Raphael is a wandering giant of gray skin, knotty long hair, sunken eyes, and haggard complexion who has set into the world to find peace in solitude and fulfillment in mystical knowledge and foresight.  As a dodaem he has small patches of black feathers not unlike a crow on his arms, legs, shoulders, and back, and he has a great affinity to the animal.  In particular he has a love for the mysteries of the stars, and does his best to observe the heavens from all over the world as he travels.  Few meet him by anything more than accident as he spends his time in the wilderness, with his pet crow acting as a scout and warning system for threats nearby.  He is unfriendly to others but does not desire trouble and will leave if he does not think he can take whatever is before him.  He usually uses his wildshape to turn into a giant crow (eagle) and fly away.

Recently Raphael has become obsessed with certain meteorological phenomena and is on an active chase to find meaning in its passing.  In addition he is the creator of his own unique spell, ''[[Avian Observers (3.5e Spell)|Raphael's Avian Observers]]''.
