Pharn thought she was human for the first 25 years of her life. Always interested in other people's business, she was finally directed into cyclops history by a handsome raven haired man. This being turned out to be a Djinn, watching over her family for the Djinn blood to express. Contact with him started Pharn's change into a full sylph. Before she headed out to explore the ruins in the shackels, he presented her with a magical sword, he called Blindfrost.
Pharn is a student of the ancient history of Golarion, and came to the Shackles to explore the crumbling and vine-choked ruins of the cyclops empire of Ghol-Gan, which have lain abandoned among the isles of the Shackles for thousands of years. She went to a tavern called the Formidably Maid in Port Peril last night to meet a contact who supposedly had an old map of lost cyclops ruins to sell, but the drink was stronger than Pharn had expected and she passed out before making the deal.
