--------------------
Warren Motter grew up on a small farm near a growing town in Durvan with his parents Sonny and Ros and older sister Caitlin. His family gained favor with Erastil, as the animals on the farm began to prosper (thanks in no small part to Warren's gift with them and their predators). So much so that Sonny Motter was recruited by the Merchant's Guild of that town. When he learned he'd be paying dues without getting much in return, Sonny turned them down, opting to simply continue selling his stock independently.

Unfortunately, the Guild was doing rather poorly at the time, so it used its underworld connections to kidnap Warren and Caitlin in an effort to pressure Sonny into joining.

A local hero, both in the military and in sports, named Megaira the Ungiving led a squad to rescue them only a few days in. It was long enough, however for Caitlin and Warren to learn the identity of the leader of this criminal organization was a nobleman called Devadas of House Mishra. When Warren told Megaira, she manipulated him into ousting the nobleman in court, humiliating him and stripping the honor from House Mishra. Even after he'd learned what she'd done, he held her no ill will, because he would likely have done it anyway, if she'd just asked.

Many people were freed from the influence of this nobleman, including Rachele Ambrosi, another of the underground's blackmail prisoners. Warren and Rachele bonded over their shared experience and love of animals and music. Their love for each other only grew during Warren's struggle to find employment in town and through his time with the militia where he continued to master any one "marketable skill."

Throughout all these experiences, two things grew steadfast in the young man. First, Warren continued honing his musical ability, there was no voice in this small town equal to his, and his orphica and the piano at the local tavern were symbols of merriment and happiness because of him, which earned him a great bit of coin in his own right. And second, the friends and family he made along the way know him to be immovably loyal to them.
