BACKSTORY
======
Victor was born to two low class citizens in the slums of a major and expansive city. His father was a sailor. His mother had no skills that could be used for employment and resorted to begging. For the most part, Victor was looked after by his older brother by 2 years, Samuel. When Victor was four, his father left on a merchant ship that was shipping several important and valuable exports. If the voyage was successful, then the Manas family wouldn’t have to worry about money for several years. However, the ship never came back. Whether Victor’s father completely left his family or died was never revealed. Meanwhile, Victor’s mother dug herself into a worse hole. She couldn’t pay off an elf her debt to him, so she payed it with her body. The result was her becoming pregnant and giving birth to a half-elf daughter, Koyuki. When Victor was five, she passed away, leaving the three children on their own.
For years, the Manas children struggled to survive and make a living. Samuel, having enough of their life, decided to enroll in the City Guard. For years, he trained while Victor looked after Koyuki, developing a close relationship with his half-sister. Victor began stealing things like food and coins from random people. When he was eight, he stole from the wrong person. The man, Dolin, was a retired master burglar. Entertained by the boy’s skills, he decided to take him on as an apprentice. As the years went by, Victor learned more and more and stole bigger and more expensive items.
Eventually, his teacher thought that Victor was ready for his final test. When Victor turned fourteen, they both broke into the Guard’s barracks and planned on stealing some high end documents. Unfortunately, they were both caught by a small squad, with Samuel as one of the of the guards. Dolin helped his apprentice escape, getting captured in the process. The next day, Victor watched from the shadows as Dolin was hung from the gallows.
Victor went to meet with Koyuki. But when he arrived, he found Samuel waiting for him as well. The two argued, with Samuel saying that he has to arrest Victor for his crimes and is disappointed in him; while Victor claimed that Samuel doesn’t care about him and Koyuki since he spent all of his time with the Guard. The two eventually fought, both of them taking serious wounds. When Victor had the opportunity to leave, he asked Koyuki to come with him. She looked between the two brothers before moving closer to Samuel, saying that Victor’s different from the boy who took care of her. With anger overwhelming, the burglar decided to escape from town, with Samuel shouting that he would hunt him down.
A year later, Victor came into a very mercantile port city. He began to steal things again. Eventually, he broke into the mansion of a very powerful and wealthy merchant lord by the name of Boris DuLoc. Unfortunately, he was captured when he tried to steal from the daughter’s room and was sentenced to be imprisoned for three years. The daughter, Marigold, visited him and demanded to know why he broke into her house. Victor refused to answer. A stubborn girl, Marigold visited everyday to try and get the answer out of him. As the year went by, the two got to know each other better and struck up a secret friendship. Eventually, it blossomed into a deep romance. However, they kept it a secret from everyone.
While in prison, Victor heard that he would would be transferred to the custody of his brother. Marigold helped smuggle him out of the city with his gear. Victor swore to her that he would come back for her, once he has greater power, wealth, and a guild.
