Background:
Gerro Drassed is a wealthy man in Kintargo. A very wealthy man. He worked hard for it, and by gods, he deserves to enjoy the fruits of his labour. When it turned out that some of those fruits were tainted, however, things did not go so well - especially for his previous two wives and their newborn. Because it was obviously their fault for bearing demonspawn children, it was their blood that was tainted, not his. Never his. The third wife was a little luckier. When Talvek was born, Gerro was away on a long trade voyage, his return further delayed by storms, pirates and political unrest until one year became three. And when he returned, it was too late to employ his usual method - the existence and nature of his son was public knowledge. So he resorted to banishing his wife and disowning his son. Third time, it turns out, was not the charm.
Talvek and his mother Pella found themselves on the streets and soon ended up squatting in the dilapidated buildings of Devil's Nursery. There, Talvek's nature was not so odd and there were many others like him. Pella quickly established a friendship with an older tiefling woman, and the two built a household together, raising Talvek together. A few years afterwards, they took in a tiefling girl who had been banished by her family and had been living on the streets. Years passed, and their family grew considerably. Aside from his human mother, Talvek now has three aunts and six sisters, all tieflings. It is a strange family, all in all, but the arrangement works for them, and the reputation they've built ensures that not many bother them. They are known as the Kindred Clan, they are a force for good and stability in the slums. Although the women and girls can take care of themselves for the most part, Talvek sees himself as their protector, and will not tolerate any harm or slight to them.
Although he didn't receive the benefits of a formal education, the young tiefling is surprisingly well-read and well-informed. He has a fascination with the history of Kintargo, particularly with that organization that called themselves the Silver Ravens. His wild and free nature chafes at the newly imposed restrictions and lately he's been quite outspoken against the Thrune rule. He runs with a gang of similarly-minded, similarly hot-headed young tieflings, talking revolution and social justice, scrawling graffiti on the walls of government buildings.
