His father had disappeared even before his birth, leaving the two to fend for themselves. Despite all attempts to raise him towards a better future, Cutter (at the time only called ‘boy’) kept company mostly with pickpockets and other criminals, soon finding that thievery pays well and violence even better. His determination and ability earned him a place as enforcer in one of the many smaller ‘families’. His steady rise through their ranks was abruptly ended, when Cutter was found keeping extorted and stolen goods for himself, including an artifact of sorcery the family had been tasked to retrieve. Fleeing the city with only his life and a dagger to him Cutter hooked up with a small group of mercenaries, where he could employ his skills and hone his martial abilities.

If something needs to be done and violence is the easiest way, then violence it is. Kill or be killed is much too often the only rule in a situation and he has embraced this principle. For all his violent and criminal past, or rather because of it, Cutter holds the few values he has very dear. On the rare occasion, that he formally gives his word, he feels bound to it as long as the other side does as well. Likewise the friendship between equals is elevated above the concerns of pragmaticism.Appearance &amp; Behaviour:Though Cutter is a giant of a man, standing six and a half feet tall with broad shoulders, he moves with surprising agility. Many fights have left him with a multitude of scars, the most prominent being one across his right cheek. His hair he keeps tied behind his head as to not impede his sight. Usually Cutter is clad in simple but robust clothing with a faded green cloak covering his leather armor and concealing sword and dagger. Only when he anticipates a direct confrontation (such as in battle), he wears chain shirt and steel cap and carries all his weapons. Between sword, daggers (one open, two concealed), axe, bow and spear Cutter strikes an intimidating figure, which is of course one of the reasons for carrying half an armoury with him.When not involved in some kind of conflict Cutter is easy-going and good drinking companion, much in favor of games of all kinds. He goes about everything with the confidence of one knowing his own strength and is not one to understate his abilities.</blockquote>
