Necco was born to a prominent family of lawyers and judges in Murraseth, and she was widely regarded as having a keen legal mind. Unfortunately for her family, she primarily used this knowledge in order to break the law. After several embarrassing (embarrassing for others but not her) scrapes with the law, she happily allowed her parents bribe her to leave Murraseth and go far, far away.
She traveled north through the continent of Garund to seek her fortune, mostly at the expense of other people’s fortunes. She stayed for a time in Katapesh and Osirion, learning the local language and keeping clear of law enforcement. While in Katapesh, she became a coffee aficionado and can be a little boring on the subject.
While in Osirion, she became acquainted with the Pathfinder Society. She felt that she would be a good fit for that organization but had less than zero desire to go through three years of training. Fortunately, Norden Balentiir, the venture-captain of the local lodge, proved vulnerable to blackmail, and Necco was shortly on her way to Absalom with a shiny new Field Commission.
