“Children eyes are bright with dreams.”

To young Albus his dreams were the Sable marines, flying atop hippo-griffins, protecting his beloved Korvosa, for to Albus Korvosa was another dream, constructed atop ancient Shoanti ruins, the city had a multitude of secrets, be they secret shortcuts, underground pathways and ruins, secrets that called to Albus, thus he would spend days investigating Korvosa, but even so everyday Albus would take a moment to watch, from atop a ruined city wall, the patrols of the Sable marines in their black uniform, the silver and black feathers of the hippo-griffins cutting through the sky in Korvosa.

Thus when his father began to train Albus to inherit his shop and craft, Albus said to him: Father, I admire your work, you make of leather not only items of quality but of beauty also… But it’s not what I desire to do, I have always dreamed of becoming a Sable marine, I have two siblings, I ask you that you grant me permission to try. To which his father with a closed expression asked: What if you fail son? What will you do then? Have you thought about this? Very few are accepted to enroll at Endrin academy.

Then I will join the Korvosan guard, I know this city better than I know our own house father, and yes I have thought of this for some time, I even kept all the coins you gave me and these I found in the street so that I could pay someone to teach me how to use a bow and blade. Albus father sighted and finally said:Very well you problematic child, I let you do as you want, but you will still learn my trade and help with the shop, so you can pay any weapon master you find with what you sell, for I doubt even Ildren would accept as pay the few pieces you have gathered. Thus the second-part of Albus childhood began one where he had no time for playing, or exploring for he had to learn both his father trade and the many skills he would need to be accepted at the Endirn academy. But though it was hard Albus never felt unhappy, for in his heart he could hear the sound of beating wings.

As time passed and Albus grew, the day finally came for his test, the trial he had worked years for. The Edrin academy test was long with the hopeful and nervous youths being tested in basic knowledge of language, math and Korvosan history, and then being tested for physical abilities, these tests were of many forms, running climbing, swimming, and a combat either with a applicant already trained weapon or in unarmed combat. Albus chose to challenge the bow and with keen eyes he hit every mark asked of him. When the tests ended the sun was already falling in the horizon, and Albus never felt so tired or so content. It would be days before he received a message with the result of his test but in his heart Albus felt secure of his success. While life at the academy was hard it was not harder than the years Albus trained for the test, he was after all very close to his dreams and he knew his family was proud of him.
If Albus Navre dream was becoming a sable marine, then Korva Navre dream was becoming like her brother, to little Korva Albus was a Idol, in her eyes Albus was both talented smart and fearless, an while he certainly was the first two and perhaps way too naïve to really fear something, in Korva eyes these qualities became amplified, unlike Aeron, Albus did not keep telling her not to do things, he would at most tell her to be careful, like her Albus was interested in adventure and heroics. And so she became quite proud so to say when Albus was accepted in the academy even if that left her without his company. Though her older brother had cautioned her to avoid certain parts of the city, Korva thought she had uncovered a secret tunnel that led to Edrin academy which would allow her to see her brother at least if not everyday more frequently than simply when he returned once a week.
Albus was the last to know of Korva disappearance: He was working feeding the young hippogriffs when an instructor told him that his brother was here with an urgent message, being excused of his lesson Albus swiftly went to see Aeron. Seeing Albus, Aeron asked: Tell me you know where Korva is! No even if you do not you know these hideaways and streets better you have to help find her!

Wait! Korva is missing?
Yes, it’s already dark and she hasn’t returned she’s not at Ildren neither together with her friends! Albus face bleached when he heard that then he turned towards the listening instructor and said:I’m sorry sir, but I must go I accept any reprimand later! But I must find my sister!
Go boy. I will arrange things here. We have a duty to Korvosa first, but it’s not one where we sacrifice a missing child, so you can feed mounts. Responded the instructor. Even though Albus searched through the night and the other day he was unable to find Korva, for while one might know many parts of Korvosa no one could know her completely. After returning without success to his home Albus was confronted, by Aeron; This is your fault! It was because of you she took to exploring every cranny and nook! And you say you can’t find her? Get out of my sight Albus. You ever kept dreaming and Now look at us. Knowing that his brother words were at least to an extent accurate Albus fled his house, and unable to go back to the academy so soon he climbed the old broken wall where he always watched the flying patrols, and there he cried till he fell asleep there. When dawn came again Albus was woken by the sun, the memories of recent events coming to him in a painful flash. But this time Albus didn’t cry, this time he looked to the sky where a hippogriff flew in the distance and then he looked towards the ground looking at Korvosa. I will find you Korva, Even if I have to search every boulder in this city I will find you sister.
The Navres asked the korvosan guard to search for Korva, but they confessed to not having the resources to do more than tell the guard to keep their eyes open. But time passed and they found nothing, still Albus kept searching for himself every time he was not actually in duties he searched, he slept little, and many days he would not sleep at all sneaking out of the academy after dark to seek information. For a long time his searches gave no results, till Albus heard of a man, scoundrel and criminal called Gaedren Lamm and the children he uses as pickpockets, upon investigating this rumor Albus discovered sightings of a girl that might look like Korva. But as of yet Albus has not been able to find the man. Albus eyes are bright no longer, and though he might grow because of this misfortune he will remain struck in place if he does not find his missing sister.
[spoiler=Albus Concept].Albus had a lucky life, and because of this he was to a certain point naïve he knew there was suffering in Korvosa, but he knew it as a fact nothing more, that is till his sister was kidnapped.
Albus is drawn to mysteries and challenges, this made him sometimes incredibly focused in attaining either an answer or overcoming a challenge, Albus himself is aware of this and while he sometimes ignored important things, Albus found this trait a quality until recently when he noticed that even searching for his sister elated him.
While Albus loved his entire family, in his heart first and foremost were his father and sister.
Albus was born with the instincts of a hunter which were tempered and forged by his earlier adventures and his teacher an ex-member of the Cerulean thieves’ guild.
Albus is a character with a conflict inside himself, he has a chaotic mind, that focus too much on his desires, and a lawful discipline which he holds to himself and to others.

Albus main goal right now is to find his missing younger sister. He still wants to become a Sable marine.
Albus is a determined good-natured youth, he has dreamed of heroics but has not really understood that being heroic is dealing with danger, confronting your own fears and problems, I want Albus to see the darker side to Korvosa he has ignored until now and accept it, so that he can not only protect his beloved home-city from threats without but work for its good within it. I don’t know where this AP will lead Albus but I want him to become something of a guardian of Korvosa a member of the Sable marine company working with the Korvosan guard to make things better.

Albus has a family he dearly loves, but more important to him are his father and sister.
+Albus Father: Henric was born In the shingles and at first lived a poor life that beat merriness out of him, he became a thief as a youth with Ildren as a partner, they lived this life for a time till Henric fell in love with Albus’ mother Aula Navre, together the friends pooled enough resources till they managed to buy to Henric a position as apprentice to Aula’s father, after this Henric worked hard both in trying to seduce Aula and become a master at his craft.
+Korva Navre: The youngest of the Navre siblings Korva like her older brother has an adventurous soul, which was perhaps awakened by Albus in taking her along his explorations in the city.
+Ildren, Albus teacher and once partner to Henric, Ildren had a poorer life than his friend for while poor Henric made friends in the shingles most not close like Ildren became, but he, he had a family that hated each other and having dealt with this family Ildren rarely opened himself to another, he only accepted Henric because the same had saved him when, his father gave him a complete beating and threw him in the canals. Ildren helped his friend courtship of Aula, then left the city to work as a caravan guard only returning much later in his life.
+Aeron Navre: Aeron and Albus always had a rocky relationship being dragged along in Albus troubles and expeditions led him to see his older brother as a kind of egotist (And being fair Albus was one, he was certainly generous enough, but he did ignore others opinions view and even feelings sometimes while focused in something), Aeron thus tried to do the contrary thinking first of what people at his side needed, so even though he struggled to learn his father craft he kept at it, He helped his mother with the duties at home, and tried his best at being a responsible brother to little Korva. Aeron blames Albus for Korva disappearance, blaming him for her irresponsible adventures. Though Aeron is the only one besides Albus which believes Korva might still be saved.

+Albus has kept his private investigations a secret from family and friends alike.
+Albus does not know Ildren and his father were thieves, he is aware his father was once poor, and he suspects his teacher has not always lived reputably, but he does not know.
+ildren is sickly and that coupled with his distrust of other people is what has kept him from investigating Korva disappearance himself, though he has kept his eyes and ears open and suspects Albus is searching for his sister.

Though Albus normally dislikes histories with obvious plots, he has a soft spot for heroic tales.
Albus has an insensitive tongue, his likes and dislikes of food come from their texture and smell.
Albus has since little a love for high places once he got into trouble with the Korvosan guard because he tried climbing one of Castle Korvosa Towers.
