Chiron is a centaur Eidolon who provides medical treatment and advisory services. Chiron carries medical supplies in a satchel and offers both physical healing and wise counsel to injured trainees.
Appearance
Chiron appears as a centaur with a beard. The Eidolon trots when moving and can bow down to examine patients on the ground. Chiron is large enough to carry injured people on his back for transport.
Medical Abilities
Chiron carries bandages and ointments in a satchel worn while traveling. The Eidolon can diagnose injuries through examination and provide appropriate treatment. Medical services include wrapping injured limbs, applying medicinal ointments, and transporting wounded patients to proper medical facilities.
Advisory Role
Beyond physical healing, Chiron offers sound advice to patients during treatment and transport. The centaur has a reputation for finding the right words to counsel injured trainees, especially those who acted recklessly. Chiron provides guidance similar to advice given to Basira when she played the daredevil in her youth.

374 AC - Treating Carmela’s Injury
During a training excursion with orphan children, Carmela sprained her ankle after going overboard while trying to show off. She was a tomboy and stubborn, wincing in pain as other pupils gathered around her. Basira dismissed the crowd to give Carmela air, then examined the foot while Carmela gritted her teeth.
Basira determined the injury was a simple sprain requiring a mount and doctor rather than serious intervention. She summoned Chiron using Alteration after Kaizaimon passed gathered Mana to her. The centaur’s Eidolon appeared, trotting toward the group.
Chiron scratched his beard and sighed upon seeing Carmela laid out on the ground with clenched fists from frustration rather than suffering. The Eidolon bowed down and retrieved bandages and ointments from his satchel. While other orphans rested or explored the area, Chiron treated Carmela’s ankle.
Once her ankle was fully wrapped, Chiron hoisted Carmela onto his back. She clung to him, letting fatigue and dejection wash over her. Basira asked Chiron to bring Carmela back safely to the capital while the rest continued their excursion. Basira hit Chiron’s rump and he set off, galloping toward the destination. Basira hoped that along the way, Chiron would find the right words to offer Carmela sound advice.
