Born an only child, Dale's first experience with accounting came when he volunteered to manage the finances of his mother's potion shop at age 11. Within six months, he unraveled a lengthy trail of discrepancies that showed two stockboys had been skimming potion ingredients to sell on the black market, costing the business hundreds of gold. The vindication Dale felt as he watched the thieves led away in manacles inspired a lifelong passion for investigating mysteries and punishing rulebreakers, and for the last 4 years, he's found gainful employment at the Pathfinder Society, ensuring that all resources are properly allocated and accounted for.
