Vaite Wynne's page

However at the age of 9 both parents were murdered in their very own home. A wealthy merchant had had his cargo confiscated by Jonathan when he did not pay the docking fees and in the Shackles, when you have the means no hated face is forgotten or left unpunished. A dagger thrown in his back killed Jonathan quickly, but Idril suffered many a torture at the hands of the men before dying. However Vaite escaped detection, and after the killers had finished their business he quickly fled his home, taking his father’s short sword with him.

During his many voyages aboard ships, he learned the art of the throwing knife as a means to defend against men like his father’s assassins and never lost his more introverted view on life, preferring to favor his personal interests over other’s. The only exceptions to this rule are young orphans for whom he feels deep connection and tries to help whenever possible. He has now arrived in Port Peril after a difficult sea voyage but with a nice pay in his pocket and plans for relaxation with drink and fine company…
