***
Second son of a noble kitsune family in Xa Hoi, Land of Dragon Kings. Desmond was always rambunctious, looking for fun and finding trouble. He learned to fight from his training within and without the manor. He was renown for his ability with a spear, gambling skill, and love of drink & women. All this gave him a reputation, which manifested in a nickname which, roughly translated, was "Fang of Fox and Dragon."

However, Desmond's lack of discipline caused his clan no small amount of shame. It was dishonorable for such a highborn Kitsune to be seen gambling and fighting in the streets. After a particularly nasty barfight, and the subsequent duel that ended in the death of another noble, Desmond was exiled from his clan and sent away with nothing but a scant few belongings. But he didn't care. To Desmond, this was just another adventure, and a chance to find true freedom!

He traveled west, following daring tales of treasure and challenge. Along the way, he found a talent for trade, and made many widespread business contacts. Eventually, he found his way to Absalom and the Society. Sensing an opportunity, he applied, easily passing the entrance exam.
