About Oliver Tressilian

Everyone has a story and most of those before the mast would be better forgotten. Oliver Tressilian is no exception. Like so many of the gutter rats of any port town, he never met his father and his mother spent all of her energies surviving, so had little attention for her unwanted son. As Oliver grew he and his mother came to an unspoken understanding that they would both be better off fending for themselves.

Oliver’s dream as long as he could remember was to leave port on a privateer and never come back. Life on a ship, any ship, seemed like a better one than living on scraps and wharf rats. At his first opportunity, he stowed away on a buccaneer’s ship which was too hasty in its departure to search its hold closely.

Those first few months as a green sailor were a blur of hard labor, beatings and sleepless nights but he learned the ropes quickly and soon found a mentor in Sabatini, a kindly freebooter. Oliver followed Sabatini between ships as his contracts expired and he sought new adventures on voyages as well as in and around the port cities of the Inner Sea. During their time together, Sabatini taught Oliver to wield martial weapons and other talents all freebooters excel in. He prefers a cutlass for melee and often uses a longbow help clear the decks from a distance before boarding.

During his travels Oliver developed an eye for plunder and did well for himself, which is what lead him to the Formidable Maid with a pocket full of coins and a mind to spend them on a good time before the next tide...
