Cinder was raised in an Orphanage and stayed there, till the age of 15. A young man, with no prospects, he decided to enlist himself in a Temple of Irori, where he began his training as a Monk. Due to his hot-headed nature though, he never settled down to temple life. His interest had been piqued in the art of fighting, however, and the use of Ki. He traveled far and wide, after leaving the Temple, learning his trade in the great Cities of the world.
He learned to move quickly and silently, sticking to the night, picking up a few jobs here and there as a freelance spy and some time thief.
It was while in the great city of Magnimar, that his lifestyle finally caught up to him. During a Contract, where he had been sent to spy on some of the Lord Mayors dealings, his cover was blown.
He had been staking out a warehouse and had finally planned to make his move, when he made one fatal mistake, he underestimated his opponent. Sneaking in to the Warehouse, he accidentally tripped a set of Arcane Wards, calling down a whole mess of trouble on himself. Within moments the warehouse was rushed, Guards led by a Mage covering the main exit. It was only through sheer luck, that he managed to escape, blending in to the night.
It was for this very reason that he found himself aboard the North Star, fleeing for his very life!
