That horrific ever happened a while ago so she's been on to fight things. She travels all over so they could meet anywhere. Would your character be more inclined to approach her in a natural environment or in a bar or something of that nature?
He won't be able to learn Force Drain or Pyrokenisis until he is a Crusader, as they are powers to advanced to be taught to Acolytes. Neither of my chars know anything about Alchemy, but you can take a look at their powers and abilities sections to see what kind of things they can teach him. I plan to do some missions later, but am too swamped with threads right now. I'll let you know when I plan to start one.
