Long, long ago, you ventured into the world to play your part in history. However, for whatever reason, history has moved on, and you continue to exist. You do not age naturally, or contract common diseases, and have lived several lifetimes beyond your race's eldest. Were you blessed by a deity, to gather knowledge far beyond your years? Cursed by fate to watch everyone around you wither away from age and disease? Or mayhap a victim of your own magical experimentation? Regardless of the cause, your soul refuses to give up its claim to life, and gives you an ancient perspective on life.
Where some immortals are relatively young and rash, though, you are far older than your appearance may imply, and you've lived a far sight longer than much anyone alive. You've seen kingdoms rise and fall, history be made, and both good and evil waste away to the passage of time.
The details of your immortality are best left to you and your DM, but it's recommended to use the vanilla Boon of Immortality that prevents aging. Alternative methods could be a dark magic using phylacteries, or some sort of rebirth as a child elsewhere on death.

As time passed, you cultivated your connections. In any major town, you know ways to gain an audience with important people. Names to drop, people to refer to, symbols to pull up, and various catchphrases to get you into high (and sometimes low) places. These people may not always know why you know these things, though, so getting the audience itself may be all you can manage.
