Dev Blake grew up the seventh son of a moderately successful armorers in Sharn. His parents brought home enough to keep the family warm and fed, but not much else. Like all his siblings, Dev learned the value of a trade from an early age. He spent enough time watching impeccably dressed, well-to-do patrons of his parents purchase armor --that they would almost certainly never use-- to develop an attachment to the finer things in life. So, when it came time that he apprentice himself to an artisan, he surprised everyone (and no one) when he chose a Master Jeweler instead of a more 'practical' craft.

Towards the end of his final year of apprenticeship, a potential tragedy befell Dev and his master. The largest commission they'd ever worked on, a brooch destined for their patron's betrothed, was stolen from their shop mere days before the piece was due to be delivered. The matter was reported to the guard, but almost nobody was optimistic that the brooch could be recovered by the deadline. Dev's master fell into a depression and lost hope, fully expecting the ruination of his business. Dev, knowing that his career would live or die with the recovery of the brooch, took it upon himself to find the thing.

Two days later Dev woke up his master by pounding on his door. Bloody and beaten, Dev stood nonetheless at the front door with the brooch in hand.

It turned out he'd thrown himself into the underbelly of Sharn, asked most of the right questions --a few wrong ones-- and found the gang that stole the brooch. Digging deep despite unfriendly odds, Dev had found a burning power hiding just under the surface. And surprising even himself, he'd succeeded. Inspired, they worked through the night and delivered the jewel just in time.

Dev found himself drawn to the adventure he'd found recovering the jewel. He finished his apprenticeship, but decided to partner with his former master rather than start his own venture. The partnership would allow him some freedom to adventure between jobs, getting his fix of risk and excitement between commissions. His aging master was pleased with the arrangement; he gained a talented and promising partner and the younger man's interesting reputation certainly wasn't bad for business.
