Talen is a young thief that the party befriended in Castille. He isn't completely trusted by everyone (with good reason, at times) but he is usually excused because of his youth. In his eyes can be seen a sense of purpose; one that has aged him beyond his few years.

"And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this is also a vexation of spirit."
"For in much wisdom is much grief: and that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow."
Ecclesiastes 1:17-18
