"I was looking to make a new life for myself. I used to work for the Aspis Consortium. I finally paid off my debt to them, so I boarded the first ship I came to so I couldn't be dragged back in.

I came across a few treasure maps in my time, and one of them talks about an old pirate stash here on Smuggler's Shiv. We're here, so I might as well look for it. If you're up for helping out, I'll split it with you."
