Background:
As a baby Mavor was left on the doorstep of one of the many orphanages in Korvosa, actually one situated in Old Korvosa itself, a bad neighbourhood if there ever was one in Korvosa. Who his parents were was never clear, but a Shoanti tattoed mark left no mistake as to where his roots lay, one of the many Shoanti visitors to Korvosa, perhaps a woman of a caravan or trader, no one could really tell. The name Mavor was written on a note, his last name Asku was given to him later, Asku being the Orcish word for orphan as an old half-orc employed in the orphanage told Mavor later. Growing up in the orphanage it became quite clear that Mavor was bigger and also stronger than most, but his ability to learn quickly was not often seen in most of the orphans as well. As most of the children played games and ran around the yard, Mavor climbed the shed and the low buildings of the orphanage often getting a reprimande or punishment from one of the leaders there, but he climbed back up as soon as he got the chance. It gave him a nice view of the sky and all the creatures flying in the Korvosan sky. As he grew up and laid on the roofs of one building or the other, he noticed from time to time a group of tough and rough looking men coming round and taking a few of the older children with them, mostly strong ones or nimble ones. Mavor became intrigued by these events. When the group came next, handing a sack of gold to the owner of the orphanage, Mavor jumped to the occasion and barged in through the line of children they had lined up they might take with them. He wasn’t afraid to do so. The men looked at him with inquisitive eyes, felt his muscles and asked him the important question. ”So you want to be a little Lamm eh? You think you’ve got what it takes?” Mavor didn’t know what a little Lamm was, but he knew he wanted a change in his life, he replied with a resounding ”Yes” Life at Gaedren Lamm’s was not so bad at first, eating regularly, having a bit of fun with the other children and the guards at first, acting as pickpockets during the day, practicing climbing and quick-footedness at night. That changed quickly as Mavor wasn’t as stealthy or nimble as some of the other children, he was more of a direct approach, distracting them with quick talk and then trying to steal their wallet. Mavor made a few errors in doing so, someone noticed him trying to steal a wallet, another person had his purse tied with a rope to his clothing and he failed to notice. He caused quite a scene with that action and drew too much attention for Gaedren to properly use him any further. What made things worse is that Mavor could think for himself and was quick with his words to try and talk himself out of trouble, the guards and Gaedren’s henchmen were easily dumbstruck and outwitted, but Gaedren became only more furious with the now teenage half-orc. Gaedren himself, together with two of his guards dragged him off to a garbage heap telling him that ”That’s where smart-asses like you belong.” The thugs roughened Mavor up with their fists, beating him almost unconscious before Gaedren approached him with a dagger. ”Now do one thing properly this time for me. Die like the rat you are.” The cut that followed sucked every last willpower from Mavor to fight back, he fell unconscious and bleeding onto the garbage heap and was left for dead. Miraculously he survived, as to how he couldn’t say, but when he awoke his wound was wrapped in old and greasy linen cloth and he was sitting upright against a city wall. That day changed his life, the scar reminded him of the event and fueled his rage and lust for revenge on Gaedren Lamm and his henchmen. He vowed to kill him for what he was put through. But the time for revenge was not now, he was too weak, too unskilled yet, his time would come eventually. In the years after, Mavor turned to petty crime himself, moving through the outer circles of the underworld in Korvosa, sometimes robbing rich men, sometimes robbing other thieves. Mostly he used his quick wit and play of words to distract them such as: ”Those guards seem awfully prepared and numerous, you suppose they’re coming for you?” or ”Have you ever seen those pseudodragons fly? I bet you they could carry a coconut or even a bunch.” When the thief looked around or up he got hit by a club to his head and Mavor earned another week or so worth of food and coin. He was pretty good at what he did, many people didn’t see him coming. A large half-orc dressed like a traveler or adventurer, most were awe-struck about his sudden deep thinking and questions which wasn’t expected of someone like him. Though he was good at that, he wasn’t fully satisfied as to how he approached it, he still had a lot to learn. Perhaps Gaedren Lamm’s henchmen and goons were a good target, they were pretty gullible before… 1 Harrow Points left |
