As he grew older, he began to suspect that something was fundamentally wrong with the way his father handled his clients and horses — the local petty nobles of the land would bully his father into releasing his finest horses into their service for little or no compensation. His father would then charge travellers, townsfolk, merchants, and foreigners outrageous fees for nags and lame horses. If the client could not pay, his father would extend an obscenely generous line of credit, often more than the person would be able to pay back. When the time came for Kaiambus the Elder to be paid, he'd have deliquent clients brought before the petty nobles for failure to honor a contract. Upon achieving the age of 19, Kaiambus left home and wandered, spending time in the woods, practicing his marksmanship and his swordplay. Angered at his father, he took the family cat with him (he figured a couple of mice in the stables should make his father batty after a few weeks — spite is a wonderful thing...). After living in the woods for about 1 year, he set off for Seilen in order to receive more training in swordplay and archery. Instead he ended up doing some covert work for one of the minor guilds in Seilen's Merchant Emporium, mostly doing messenger work, but occassionally performing "hits" on people who had crossed his guildmaster. On one of these missions, his sorcerous powers manifested themselves, and he bartered for his release from work with the guild in order to learn how to harness them better. He hasn't officially gotten leave yet, but has been allowed to do less work with the understanding that he may be called back to do jobs at any time. Kaiambus detests his father and steadfastly refuses to talk of his mother or her relationship with his father, but doesn't necessarily bear her any love either. He's not so fond of his work for the guild either, and is very ashamed of his involvement in any assassinations and murders; somehow, he hopes, that he won't be called back and that the guildmaster will forget about him, but he realizes that his magical abilities may make him more interesting to them than he wants to be. His relationship with the family cat, Kazanaus, is more or less good, although Kaiambus is unsure whether he chose to take the cat or whether the cat chose to go with him. Kazanaus refuses to share how the decision was made, although he is more than willing to offer commentary and opinions on just about everything else.</blockquote>
