Gaelyn is meant to emulate the Paladin Mind Sword Archetype from PF1. His telekinetic abiities are the cornerstone of his heroic ideal. Yes, the choice to have these abilities at 1st level and to waste the 2nd Level Free Archetype slot is intentional. As is having him live with the reduced CON for a few levels; he is def meant to be a ranged combatant given that TKP allows him to hurl a dagger much further than its base range increment as a thrown weapon.

In many ways, his look is probably more like the Iconic Rogue, Merisiel, given that he has 6 daggers sheathed on his right leg; non-elves rarely know that the dagger is the sacred weapon of Yuelral.

Mendev beckoned. He wasn’t Rogarvian enough to be relevant in Brevoy, and he certainly wasn’t elven enough to be relevant in Iadara … yet in her beneficence, Yuelral had graced him, and he knew he could help the crusade and specifically, bring hope to elven crusaders. The great mage Nathan Rogarvia was gone, and while divination fairly clearly showed the mage was one of Gaelyn’s forebears, not much else did. In Mendev, none of that had mattered. He attacked, he healed, he prayed, he repeated. It was bliss.

Now though, the Worldwound closed, he meandered back across the southern shore of the Lake, not much interested in Numeria, back to Restov. There weren’t all that many Mind Swords who had exited the crusade alive, and there weren’t any Rogarvians to be heard from either. Gaelyn himself may not have been young for an aiuvarin anymore, but his flame for Yuelral burned as brightly as ever. He didn’t need to be a scion of kings, he needed to love The Wise and show her gratitude for his magic. The Stolen Lands needed that: he would be a Scion of Gratitude, sharing the blessings of her magic whenever he could.
