BACKGROUND
----------------------------
Native born but of Chelaxian background, Thaniel was the son of a city watchman and so grew up with a sense of pride of the city. A shining beacon of civilization in the face of an untamed land, a point of view only helped along by listening to the sermons of priests of Abadar. He grew to see Korvosa as a city of striking potential full of passionate people, and perhaps with time and training he too may become one of the Guard and do his part for the people who had only been good to him.

Using a great deal of the coin he was saving, Thaniel had a ring commissioned and proposed to his love Nessa (a servant girl of House Ornelos), who said yes. Soon after, her body was found not far away from her family's home. Stabbed, and robbed. Sharing in the family grief, the outstanding detail of how she was found to Thaniel was how that ring was missing from her finger.

Since then, Thaniel has hardened somewhat. His belief in the innate good nature of people has begun to shake, as he scoured the city for where that ring went. Eventually, it turned up in some shop dealing in "previously owned" items. While he was not able to get the ring itself back, the knowledge that it was sold to him by a Gaedren Lamm.

Unfortunately, no one Thaniel would talk to would help. Not the Ornelos family, not even the Guard he so respected. His anger and faith struggling, it was then that he decided that if justice was to be done... he would have to go after Lamm himself. Just to prove there is some fairness left in the city.
