About Marabelus Tarphoni
Marabelus Tarphoni comes from a minor Tintalian noble family, which had fallen on hard times, and was forced to live amongst the unwashed masses of commoners in conditions far below the dignity of those of noble birth. While food and basic necessities were sometimes scarce, his parents, Vascorni and Lillian, always made sure to scrounge and sell off treasured family heirlooms when needed to provide Marabelus and his brothers with education and training befitting a noble scion. While his older brothers Xephon and Girbertti, used their education and martial training and became minor military officers in the Imperial army, Marabelus decided that he would become his own man, beholden to no one, and would use his innate talent and wits to earn a fortune and never again have to worry about finances the way his parents did their every waking moment.
With this decision guiding him, he quickly became a bravo and a hired judicial duelist, earning a reputation as a canny fighter able to beat common thugs and riff raff, as well as trained mercenaries. When the invaders came to Tintalas, his brothers urged him to join the army and defend the Empire, but since no one offered to pay him for his services, he instead chose to flee with the refugees to Olan Vale, along with many of his regular employers. Before leaving the city, he made sure to warn his sometimes lover and often dueling rival Alessa to leave as well, to ensure he had an adequate sparring partner in the rustic Valelands.
As he set off on the road to Olan Vale, he drew out the only possession he still had from his childhood, one third of an amulet that had been with the Tarphoni family for generations, and wondered if it would ever be reunited with its other pieces which were hanging on his brother's necks.
