Originally a chronicler and court bard for the Kingdom of Wyr, Canaris' talents were recognized quickly by Jerregobe the White, and Canaris and Jerregobe became good friends, adventuring together occasionally and with the bard also making sure that Jerregobe was always apprised of the latest intelligence coming out of Wyr and the Southern Kingdoms. When the Great Council of War was formed, Canaris served as trusted herald for the Council, and it was he who secretly gathered the representatives of the Council and brought them to Bleton. Once there, he served as secretary of the Council and accurately recorded every word and nuance of that august body, including the arrival of the Heroes of the Gem into the Council's midst and Bahamut's revelation to the Council.
Canaris then accompanied the Quest of the Gem as a participant and as its chronicler and he served with distinction. With the fall of the Deceiver, Canaris refused rulership over any portion of Slumber and instead became the official bard of the Kingdom of Slumber. He also travelled the wide world singing and performing his magnum opus "The Quest of the Gem" and has seen quite a number of adventures in the 21 years since the Deceiver was defeated.
While adventuring in the Underdark with the Heroes of the Gem, Canaris drank a draught of potency brewed by the strange myconids and this affected his mind. The draught expanded his consciousness such that he developed psionic powers. After the War, Canaris delved deeply into his newfound powers and is now becoming an accomplished psionic telepath. How far the bard will take these abilities is unknown, but he is said to want to eventually chronicle the development of his powers so that others may one day follow in his wake.
Canaris is a jovial soul who is slow to anger and who tends to see the bright side of even bad situations. That said, he takes his duties very seriously and in no way is he flighty or unreliable. He also has a penchant for wands and is never without at least a couple on his person.
