background story:
Kaiden grew up in Tian Xia. He had a rough childhood, and never really got to know his mother and father. He had always been told that they died when he was young, and that he was left with his aunt. She took care of him as best she could, but due to failing health she found it more difficult to do so as time went on. She eventually died a few years later. Since she was only renting the place, Kaiden had nowhere to go.
Luckily for Kaiden who was about 9 years old at this time one of the men in the neighborhood, Xin Zu(working name for now), offered him a place to stay. The only thing Kaiden was asked to do was to deliver messages, and packages. Making sure the messages and packages never got lost was of extreme importance. In return Kaiden was given 3 meals a day, a bed, and occasional spending money as long as the jobs were done. As Kaiden got older he realized he was running contraband and messages to criminals, but the money was too good to resist, and by this time he did not really have much of an aversion to it anyway. One day when he was older Kaiden, 15 years old to be exact, was sent to collect payment for Xin Zu from a cusKaidener, a former adventure who fell into drug use. Seeing as how Lo Chen normally paid without any problems Kaiden was sent alone, but Lo Chen thought Kaiden was being sent as an enforcer so he took it as a challenge. While Kaiden was quickly becoming Xin Zu's favorite man he was not used as muscle. Lo Chen challenged him to a fight if he wanted the money, but Kaiden had no real experience in a fight that meant someone could die. He did spar with Xin Zu, but he never had to actually fight with his life on the line. Defeating Lo Chen meant a great increase in status, while losing would most likely mean death. Xin Zu would have Lo Chen killed if he did win, but that would not bring Kaiden back to life. Lo Chen who was big for a Tian stood at 6'1 and weighed about 220. His favorite weapon was the cestus. Kaiden had mostly trained with a dagger since it was something that could easily be concealed. Lo Chen was known for toying with his foes before finishing them. Kaiden was beaten badly, and he knew he was going to die if he continued to fight Lo Chen straight on. On one of Lo Chen's backhands from the Cestus Kaidene threw himself on the ground feigning a greater injury than he received. Figuring the fun was over, and with people saying to go "end it already", Lo Chen knealt down and grabbed Kaiden's head with one hand, and raised his cestus to strike the final blow with the other. Lo Chen, never thought about why someone who was unconscious was still holding on to a dagger. That was the last mistake Lo Chen would ever make. Kaiden drew his dagger across Lo Chen's throat with such speed and accuracy that nobody even saw his hand move. The only evidence of what happened was that seemed to magically start flowing from Lo Chen's neck for no apparent reason. Without saying a word Kaiden took anything valuable that Lo Chen had and handed all of it over to Xin Zu. Other people challenged Kaiden when he came collecting thinking his victory was a fluke, many had him beaten, but somehow Kaiden walked away live while they did not. Eventually he became Xin Zu's assassin/lead enforcer. If he had to kill someone who refused to pay then so be it. This probably would have been his station in life for much longer, but Xin Zu had been skimming the profits he was supposed to be turning in to the local theives guild. Xin Zu was made into an example, and Kaiden was now without employment. He probably would have felt sorry for Xin Zu, but since was virtually a slave up until that point he could not really feel much remorse. Kaiden being free from Xin Zu was news that spread quickly and he was offered a job as a bodyguard for a caravan going into Brevoy. Always wanting to improve himself he would spar with the others to improve his fighting technique and learn how to use different weapons. When he was not with the warriors he was with those hired as scouts who taught him how to move so that he would make the least amount of noise, and gain less attention. When he got to Brevoy he was hired again to go into the Mwangi Expanse where he continued his training with others he met. After the expedition was over he decided to stayy and train with an older adventurer named Garrin. Garrin him that the key to his longevity was that he could focus on one enemy instead of learning to only fight certain enemies more effectively*. Kaiden took this to heart which led to a connection with nature that was not as deep as most people. No deity ever called to him to grant him an animal companion or spells, but he did learn how to set traps** and focus his mind so that he could better hone in on any one enemy with his weapons. Those who saw him in battle when he was "focused" were amazed. After learning all he could from Garren he decided it was time to move on he got a job offer as part of an adventuring group to go to a place called The Land of Songs. ..... *How he got the guide ranger archetype.
