Here is a little more detailed stuff.
I would like to go the unarmed variant of swordsage(lose the armor prof but gain monk unarmed strike damage). The other side would definately be fighter. He would focus on unarmed UFC type combat.

Korvin was an unwanted son. His father was an underground streetfighter, fighting any challenger for money and glory, running from those that wished the illegal fights to end. His mother was one the many women in his father's entourage. When one of his father's rivals took things too far by murdering the mother of his son, Korvin's father wanted wanted revenge. He offered to fight the man, and for many months Korvin helped his father train, watching his father's technique and learning. When the day came for the fight, Korvin's father told the young boy, "if something bad happens to me, go to man who helped me learn what I know today." As if already knowing what would happen, Korvin's father was defeated, and fell lifeless to the ground, slain mercilessly by the rival. Initially Korvin couldn't believe it, he held his dying father, as his father's murderer walked away, with cold eyes and a ruthless smile. He did what his father said, and found the venerable teacher. The boy grew to a man, and was a master of his father's chosen style of fighting, as well as the man who killed his father.
