Colson Maldris
Colson Maldris1 is the former head of the Liberty's Edge and Andoren factions in the Pathfinder Society. In 4717 AR, he became a fugitive headed toward the Galtan capital of Isarn2 after attempting a daring abduction plot to force members of the Seven Houses and their allies to face justice for corruption in his native Andoran.3
He was retired as faction head in 4718 AR and succeeded by Tamrin Credence, longtime agent of the Bellflower Network.45
Background
Colson was the most senior member of the Andoren Eagle Knights permanently stationed in Absalom. His position near the Grand Lodge allowed Colson an inordinate amount of influence over the Pathfinders within the organization, and he uses this to operate a number of clandestine missions as part of larger Pathfinder Society operations.
In 4712 AR, Michellia Blakros asked Colson to marry her, but he rejected her offer as it would require him to change his name and forfeit his rank. Due to his involvement with the Society, the Decemvirate was forced to invite the Blakros family to that year's Grand Convocation, taking place at the Grand Lodge, as a way to smooth over the frayed relations between the two organizations.67
In 4714 AR, Colson—disillusioned by deepening corruption within the Andoren government—left his homeland for a more permanent residence in Absalom in order to form Liberty's Edge, a watchdog organization dedicated to rooting out corruption across the Inner Sea region.8
At some point around 4716–4717 AR, Maldris was assigned former slave Karisa Starsight as his assistant and mentee.9

In 4717–4718 AR, Maldris abruptly went missing, and the Pathfinder Society subsequently discovered that he had enacted a plot to hold several Andoren nobles accountable by abducting them to Galt.10 He was replaced as leader of Liberty's Edge by Tamrin Credence.4 His plan backfired, however, and he was slated for execution by Galt's Gray Gardeners.10
Relatives
Grishan Maldris, Colson's childhood brother, was killed in the Tri-Towers Yard of Absalom during the great earthquake of 4698 AR. Grishan's soul stayed with his friend J Dacilane until Dacilane was rescued by Pathfinders 10 years later.1112
Colson was the nephew of the late Myraxus Threeshadows, who was killed in 4708 AR when the rogue Chelaxian privateer Darsielle Du Moire burned Threeshadows' home of Wittleshine to the ground.13
