Sinan was little more than a petty thief and pickpocket in his youth. Roaming the streets of Katheer, he was as quick on his feet as he was with his wit. He dreamed of becoming a horselord or some kind of great warrior, but the poverty he and his mother lived in created a barrier the boy could never overcome.

When Razima finally passed to Pharasma's embrace, a half-orc priest named Brillek took the young orphan into his trust. Brillek's church- tiny compared to Katheer's legendary holy halls dedicated to the Dawnflower- housed the lion's share of the city's orphan population- And Brillek dedicated himself to helping them all. Brillek, a child of two worlds himself, knew what it meant to be unwelcome. He knew how it could wear on a child. And swore he would do everything in his power to help the least welcome to be cared for.

Unlike most of the kids under Brillek's patronage, Sinan had dreams- hopes for a better life, and the willingness to learn how to make them happen. In Sinan, Brillek found a boy that craved nothing more than to learn. Brillek taught him to speak Taldane, Elvish, and his own native Orcish. Brillek taught Sinan to write, to math, and to copy maps and handle a blade. Brillek taught Sinan how to act in high society, and how to take them at face value. But most importantly, Brillek taught Sinan about Sarenrae- how she teaches to help those in need, to redeem them of their mistakes and how no one is without potential. It was only as an adult that Sinan understood how Brillek- a former slave and adventurer- had emulated the goddess.

Sinan dedicated his life to the Dawnflower and tended to Brillek's church and the children he cared for until the elderly priest had passed. With Brillek gone, Sinan expected to leave Katheer to spread Sarenrae's grace wherever he could. He no longer dreamed of rising to the ranks of the great heroes of myth. He only hoped to act as his teacher would have wanted, for a greater hero Sinan could never expect to know.
