BIO:

Dregeath was an unfortunate orphan at a very young age. His parents died from a very foul natural disease that infected the city they lived in. He was left to his own at the age of 12. Being intelligent and resourceful he managed to keep alive by doing tasks for businesses and organizations around the city. A few of his jobs placed in life in some danger as competition got in the way. He decided to spend some money and train with the sword, he became quite good. By the age of 18 he was well known and few interfered with his business. He saw many unethical things but never directly participated in them. He turned many a blind eye to things he did not agree with, but he was well paid by his various employers, one of which was the rogue’s guild.

Over the years he had exchanged his jobs for more training in fighting skills. But since he was not a powerful man he needed to compensate for his lack of strength. The rogue’s guild decided that Dregeath could be a valuable resource if properly motivated. So they offered to train him. In their eyes he was resourceful, skilled with the sword, willing to do things many others would not. He accepted their assistance and went deeper into the world of the underground.

He started to see more of what his blind eye was looking away from, a world of deception, bullying, and betrayal. A world where the rich always profited and poor always suffered. Eventually his consciousness started getting to him and his thoughts lead him down another path, “that’s just not right” he would often mutter to himself. He saw many powerful men taking advantage of common folk when there was no need. “They have enough gold to live like a king” he thought, “yet why do they abuse those that have a harder life?” But he kept about his business as these thought built up within.

One day a delivery job was required by an unscrupulous organization that owned parts of the city. He was asked to deliver a notice of payment for a small family living in a poorer side of town. He thought nothing of it and did his job. He quickly delivered the notice and left. The family was much like his family was, just not as well off. They had a small boy and were very pleasant people. He knew that they owed money and his employer was trying to collect it from them.

Later that afternoon while eating he made a conscious decision that he would help these people. The boy reminded him so much of himself. He went back with a hefty bag of gold to give the family and help them in their needs. “I don’t need the money that much” he thought. Upon his arrival he found two large men within their home threatening and bullying the father around. He interceded in the family’s behalf and had a sword pulled out on him by one of the thugs. The father grabbed the man’s arm to prevent Dregeath from being attacked and was quickly run through on the natural instincts of the thug. This is what made Dreageath’s conscious finally snap. He fought the two men till they were both death yet Dregeath seriously injured. He knew the employer these men worked for, and they were not of the understanding type. Dregeath knew he and the family would suffer severely for his actions. Dregeath took as much gold as he could and escaped the city forever with the family at his side.

Dregeath now saw what his blind eye was part of in his life and how the wealthy treated those of lesser stature. His morals would not stand for it any longer. He still desired success but not at the cost of those disadvantaged.
