Uwe was the third of five sons born to a minor noble house in Thuringia. His oldest brother was always destined to inherit the holdings and his other older brother was dedicated to the church shortly after his fifth brother was born. As Uwe finished his time as a squire and was knighted, the first Crusade was declared. Uwe’s family provided him with a stout set of armor, a warhorse and some small funds and sent him off to join the Germanic forces to retake the Holy Lands. Uwe thought that the fight was good, but did not think it was so important that he led his small group of men to be in the front. Instead, after the initial victories, Uwe was able to work his way into being a member of the guards for the vital ports that were supplying the Crusade. With the loss of the main forces, Uwe was part of the remnants of Peter the Hermits forces that fled before the Turks after the battle near the village of Dracon. Uwe retained his horse and fled back to the coast. When he got there, he found getting a ship to leave was not as easy as he had hoped. He did find a captain who was willing to take on a partner if Uwe was willing to pay for a large amount of the spices, cloth and other trade goods that he wanted to return to Italy with. Uwe was forced to sell his horse, much of his gear and spend what funds he had left to buy what was required to sail on the ship. A month after they set sail, the “partners” landed in Venice. Uwe was promised a portion of the funds that would allow for him to purchase a new horse and return to Thuringia. But Uwe’s partner turned out to have more hope than contacts within Venice. Uwe quickly realized that his partner was not going to be able to sell the items at a reasonable price without help. Uwe began to assist and quickly showed that he was skilled at manipulating various merchants to reach a good price. This bartering, and his apparent knowledge of the markets in the Holy Lands, led to the Lasombra taking notice of him. Lord Leopold Valdemar took a personal interest in him and any chance Uwe had of leaving Venice to return to Thuringia quickly disappeared. For several years, Uwe acted as a personal retainer for Leopold until he was Embraced in 1125 AD. Ten years after Uwe was embraced he ran into political turmoil as he upset Prince Narses because [redacted] (I am not sure if you want to come up with what the conflict was about. I would suggest that it either has something to do with the Old Flame or has something to do with a political maneuver that cost Prince Narses an important trade route that upset him, but it could be something more city specific instead. Let me know.) Uwe was forced to quickly seek safety and did not have the time to prepare to safely leave the city. So Leopold aided him by finding a place where he could seek Topor until Prince Narses had forgiven his actions. Almost 200 years later, Prince Narses was killed and Leopold woke up Uwe. In the time that Uwe was asleep his business ventures had grown well and left him with a nice amount of funds to start over his time in the city. Leopold provided a retainer, Perna de Acutis, to assist Uwe in adapting to Venice after nearly two centuries of sleep. He also provided a butler, maid and cook to tend to Uwe’s home and provide a place to feed if needed. Exp Trait Cost:
