Kenku

*Jingle of Coins*
- Talon Feld, Kenku Counterfeiter
Cursed long ago for the conspiracy to steal away great treasures of the Elemental Plane of Air by entities now lost to time, the downtrodden Kenku face a reputation not entirely unearned. Thrust into an uncaring world and forced to live with a curse from a crime long since paid, they tend to be cautious and self-serving and are as commonly seen as thieves and counterfeiters despite their contributions as royal spies, scouts, and even tacticians due to their almost uncanny memory. The typical Kenku lives on the fringes of typical society or in hidden alcoves among their kin known as Murders.

Masters of Mimicry

Kenku have long since lost their voice and wings to the curse but rumors exist that a third even more diabolical part of the curse has stolen their creativity. Kenku are often believed to only be capable of copycat-ing schemes and crafting copies but the clever Kenku have often made this their greatest strength. Whether it's true or not if they're capable of making an original masterpiece, many believe that numerous museums and vaults of artifacts and items of immeasurable worth have items crafted by the deft hands of a Kenku.

Cursed Copycats

The Kenku brings with them a talent for duplication ranging from forging documents to executing battlefield formations modeled off of historical texts. Persistent pests under the Legion Marred due to their uncanny talents and alterations, Kenku are rarely found in overarching federal institutions and never have a fondness of the Empire itself. A Kenku companion brings with them a knack for subterfuge and disguise yet unmatched by most races, only rivaled by Changelings devotion to their form, you need only the intelligence to decipher their intentions from how they speak.
