From the cursed Scorpion Tribe of Scorpion Island, Pholon came to Heartlands after the death of his previous bondpartner.
He met the Oracle's Chosen not long into their journey, drunkenly challenging them to a fight. After calming him down, the group decided to help him find a new bondpartner in Estoria.
They were unsuccessful but, in the meantime, Theo Aetos and Pholon struck up a friendship and decided that Theo would undertake the bond instead.
