Companions

Grishan Maldris was the childhood brother of Major Colson Maldris, head of the Liberty's Edge faction of the Pathfinder Society. Grishan was killed in the Tri-Towers Yard during the great earthquake of 4698 AR, but his phantom bonded with Dacilane, his good friend, who survived the encounter for 10 years79 thanks to a ring of sustenance and Grishan's efforts as a phantom to hide J's soul in the Ethereal Plane. After Dacilane was rescued by members of the Pathfinder Society in 4708 AR, Grishan's returned Dacilane's soul and hid himself in Dacilane's consciousness for several years.9
