Back Story:

Gregor had been many things in this life. Orphan. Beggar. Thief.

But worse than all these things, he had been a slave. Like all Halflings from Cheliax he was born to it and only much later did he realise that this was the lot for his people, and that his parents had also been slaves, brutally punished and sold separately for their indiscretions and for spawning another slip.

But his owner had seen an opportunity when it was presented and put Gergor to work at a very young age for he was nimble and slight but fearless too and he would often find himself ordered into the smallest crevices in the many chimneys of the manor house, sweeping them out only to be rewarded with more harsh words and lungfuls of coal dust.

In a cruel twist of fate he met another slave in the property, a bed-maid named Laura and, as it has a way of doing, history repeated itself. Their love was pure and intense, made all the more so by the secrecy that was imperative to both of their survival. He had nothing else in his life but her and cared for nothing but her and that she were to be sacrificed to a devil as an offering to seal a
new trade contract, Gregor knew the time to act had come. Taking advantage of his increased mobility in the manor through the maze of chimneys and vents, it was a relatively simple trick to light a few fires in secret corners and then ensure that they could both flee into the night.

They boarded a ship headed for head for Korvosa, leaving the manor blazing on the horizon.

It was only en route that Laura told him he would be a father, to a son no less. The boy was born on the side of some nameless road but unlike many of the slaves he had known, this boy was born free, and he would have a name. They called him Tom.

Such innocence brought into the world changed Gregor, he didn't want Tom to ever go hungry to ever want for food or warmth so he became a thief. He was always good with his hands and always faster than the other slaves. Laura would never ask where the food came from but she knew, and she didn't judge

Nearing the city Laura fell ill with fever. She was so weak she could hardly walk to Gregor dragged her and carried Tom who was 3 months old by now. On the way to Korvosa he begged for help, for anyone to help his wife and heal her but they were in the middle of nowhere stuck on trade routes with no one to care for a pair of poor bedraggled Halflings. She died in his arms on the road, and that night both he and the babe wailed to the Heavens.

Those early years were the hardest of his life. With a small child to look after in a new city he wanted to do everything in his power to give Tom a chance, but what work could he find? With no papers and no skills to speak of. He fell quickly into the world of thievery, relying on his speed and willingness to do anything for his son. That would lead him right to Lamm and to a position where he would do any odd job Lamm needed because the money was good and more importantly, regular.

The jobs came thick and fast, Gregor started making some real money for once. He could pay for a nanny and little Tom to get some education so he wouldn't end up like his father and he would make something of his life. But things never stayed good in the life Gregor lead. He always tried to shield Tom from it all but Uncle Lamm would always have his eyes out for new talent. Then one day a big job went bad a lot of money was lost and a lot of good men ended up dead.

Lamm wasn't happy he demanded repayment from Gregor but he had nothing, it was all saved for Tom and he would fight to keep it if he had to. But Lamm let him go, a strange feeling for a man so powerful to let such a thing go. Gregor broke ties then and moved away from it all, attempting to take what work he could at the docks or in shops but he felt himself slipping right back to where they started in Korvosa, barely above the breadline.

Then one day after a long hard shift at the docks Gregor came home to find Tom gone, he no longer had the money for childcare and so the boy had been alone.

The only thing he had in this life the only thing he would fight for, the last part of Laura his true love - was gone, like smoke in the breeze. Gregor broke down ran outside screaming for help shouting out his son's name. He vowed to find him, and all he had in the back of his mind was Lamm... It had to be Lamm.

But he had to be smart about this. He had to look around search down every rumor, every whispered word about missing children. But one thing he vowed was that he wouldn't give up until he had found his son.

Personality:

Coming from the life of a slave he's always wary of powerful men wanting to hold on to that power no matter what.
Gregor is an outgoing man, confident beyond all else never one to hold back what he things of someone. He's always wants to get in the last word and never likes people who assume things about him. But seconds guesses his action, that lead to a lot of self doubt when things go wrong.
Violence is always his go to, he's found talking your way out of things isn't always the best way.
He likes to use his small size to his advantage when dealing with people would underestimate him.

Goals:

1. His main goal is his child(Tom) He's all he has left, while he knows he'll never be a proper father he promised his wife(Laura) He would do everything to make sure he grew up out of slavery.
2. He has fallen into old habits(Thievery and the like) It's all he has ever known and it was the only way he could , he would like to atone for his sins.
3. Wishes to use his skills for something better to help people and give back after everything he's taken.
Looks - A scuffing looking halfling, never cared much about his looks. He wears a lot of leather over his cloth shirts. Has quite a few piercings in his ears. Light skin tone and has long light blond hair. He stands at 3 foot 1, and is a very slight build relying on his speed more than his strength.

Role in the Party:
Gregor role in the party will primarily be scouting(sneak/darkvision), skills(trap finding) and debuffing, the sneak attack Debilitating Injury will help a lot to slow down the enemy and make them less effective in battle.

Snow:

Not 100% done.

1. Five Background or Concept Elements for your character. Most of this is in my back story.

2. Two of Your Character's Goals.
1. Getting my son back, it is an all consuming thing for Gregor. He has dedicated his life to try and save his son now. He will do anything to bring down Lamm.

2. Be a better person, strive to give my son a better life even if it doesn't include himself. He will pay anything just to get him off the streets and never have to live a life of crime like his father. It's something his mother never wanted for him.

3. Two Secrets. One secret that only you know; another secret that you do not know but someone else does.

4. A Fear or Paranoia. Being a let down to my wife now son. Never strong enough to do something that really mattered something that would help people other than falling into bad manners and a life of crime.
