Message: <blockquote data-quote="Capellan" data-source="post: 530012" data-attributes="member: 6294">Mantreus' BackgroundMantreus's earliest memory was of a man hitting his mother. He hit her for so long, and so hard that she never woke up again. He had to leave her when he became hungry. He brought back food and water that he'd stolen or begged for, but she still didn't wake up. After that he had to leave because he couldn't keep all the rats away...He made his way by begging and stealing until he became quite good at it and caught the notice of the local thieves guild. The guild didn't appreciate a rogue thief in their midst and offered to take him into the guild, but Mantreus was unable to pay the outrageous fees they asked.  They gave him a week to come up with the entry fee or to leave Northgate.He decided to attempt the robbery of Turkul the Merchant. He was a wealthy individual from far away lands that temporary lived in tents on the outskirts of Northgate, and Mantreus foolishly believed that he could easily sneak into the small sea of tents and steal away with a fortune.  He almost made it and was about to cut a small slit into one of the tents when a small flame leapt from his finger igniting the tent...He was chased out of town wearing only the clothes on his back and wandered the land, gradually acquiring the tools of his trade through either honest or dishonest means. He still had problems with things igniting at his touch, but he kept these problems to himself, thinking himself abnormal. He did find over time that his quiet demeanour and ready smile seemed to please people, and he found himself generally liked wherever he went. In fact, a serving maid in Amberdale seemed to take quite a liking to him indeed, and he found himself visiting there often, particularly during the festival.Mantreus believes that the man who killed his mother was a sailor, so he tends not to like men of the sea.  Having spent so much of his life alone, he is uncomfortable with family structures in general and with patriarchal figures in particular.</blockquote>
