Taliesin was just a pup when he was tricked by the Raven Queen and forced into life-long servitude within the Fortress of Memories. He had almost resigned to his fate when he met
Kajin—his Mistress' latest victim.
It took quite a bit of convincing, but eventually, Taliesin helped Kajin escape and took a leap of faith; together, the two wolves escaped the fortress, and sought out shelter in one of the many ruined structures within the Shadowfell. Despite how relieved he is, he lives in fear of the day the mad queen will find them.
Since he's lived in the Shadowfell all his life, he is familiar with its flora and fauna. Because of this, he agrees to search for herbs.
