All his life Wes has dreamed of being someone else. He grew up as a street rat in Riddleport. His father was a drunk and his mother was a prostitute, so he basically spent most of his time on his own. He spent most of his time watching the older, wealthier pirates who strode around the slum of a city that was Riddleport. They always seemed to float above the garbage and scum, as they walked with such arrogance and class. That was what he wanted to be. He wanted the entire world to look up to him in awe as he walked above them. It was at that moment that he decided to be that kind of man. So he started watching every move that the rich men made- how they walked, talked, and even ate, he started sneaking aboard ships so he could see how to sail, and he practiced with a sword every single day. When he was finally old enough to go out on his own, he hopped on a ship and sailed out to the open sea. This was when he found out that being a pirate was not what he had imagined. He spent most of his time swabbing the deck and running away from the men who thought that a young boy would be a great punching bag. This is where his swordplay came in handy. Although he was the youngest of the crew by at least nine years, he could best them all with a sword. This talent would have earned him great respect on a crew of reasonable men, but the brutes on the ship ignored it and gave hime another sea-sickness bucket to wash. Finally the time came that Wes had been waiting for all his life. He was going to get the chance to board and plunder a ship. What he didn’t know was that the ship they were attacking belonged to the most renowned pirate to sail in Varisia: The Dread Pirate Roberts. When they boarded the ship, it became apparent to Wes that Roberts let it happen on purpose. The invading crew was immediately slaughtered and Wes failed to best even the deckhands with a sword. After beheading the invading captain, Roberts found Wes bleeding on his deck. Wes now felt pretty sure that he was going to die by the captain’s hand. Then Roberts did something completely surprising: He walked up to Wes, knelt down and said ”Lad, if you don’t bleed out on this deck, I’ve got a room for you.” Well as it turns out, Wes did not die on that ship. He spent the next for years doing and seeing the most amazing things on Roberts ship and every afternoon they would practice with the sword. When they were ready to go to be Roberts would say ”Goodnight Wesley, sleep week, most likely to kill you in the morning.” Finally the time came when the Dread Pirate Roberts decided to retire. He passed his mantle on to Wes, making him the new Dread Pirate Roberts, and got off on the next dock. The last thing Roberts said to Wes was ”Mind the squid lad.” Wes had no idea what he meant by that, until the Kraken attacked. It came out of nowhere, one moment the sea was as smooth as glass and the next there was a hurricane and a giant squid. He and his crew did there best, but in the end he was the only surviver, floating for days on a piece of driftwood. When he finally got to shore, he was nursed back to health by an old fisherman and his wife. At first he was tempted to stay there, but he still wanted to be powerful, and he could no longer be the Dread Pirate Roberts without a crew and a ship. So he said his goodbye’s and left the town of Sandpoint and headed to Magnimar. Still there was something nagging at him, why would a kraken attack his ship whiteout reason? A couple humans wouldn’t provide much in the way of food, and all there treasure went with Wes’s predecessor. He also knew from old sailors tales that Krakens were old and wise beings that planned there attacks for years. Eventually he decided to push the thought to the back of his mind and he set his first priority as making a name for himself in Magnimar.
[spoiler=Description] Having grown up around a good bit of wealthy pirates, Wes Roberts is the epitome of class. He has his priorities in order without a doubt in his mind: Power, Rum, Women, and Gold in that order. His is quick witted and loves a good conversation. Don’t let his laid back personality fool you though, he knows his way around a fight and rarely comes up on the losing end.
