Inside the bustling city of Karosgrad was the place of Jack II birth, the dark alleyways of the ghetto to be precise. His father abandoned his mother as soon as he heard the news that he was going to become a father, so he never knew who he was but was always told growing up that he was a good for nothing man - that's what his mother always told him that is. Due to never having a father figure he turned to the closet thing he had to it, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Haense. From time to time he spent his afternoons skipping chores to go take a peak at the training the soldiers where doing outside the walls, he was fascinated with their armor and weapons dreaming of the epic battles of past. His mother was a hardworking individual always trying to make sure her son was on the correct path, a canonist path but always had difficulty getting him to hit the books. One day Jack II was feeling adventurous and decided to venture out into the woods outside the walls of Karosgrad, unprepared he encountered a wild boar which decided to charge at him, Jack II immediately started to run back but tripped on an overgrown branch. The wild boar with full force hit him on his side launching the young man into the air. Jack II was gasping for air as he looked up to see where the wild boar is, to his luck it darted away after hitting him. He ran home limping in fear. His mother livid as this would put a dent in their finances as they needed to go to the clinic Jack II was left with a psychological scar as well as some physical ones. Some time has passed from that incident, ever since he seemed to help his mother more often than naught and rarely goes into the forest outside the walls. Jack II still dreams of the epic battles he hopes to be apart of one day.
As Jack II stepped off he stumbles a bit on land, he never really experienced being seasick before. As he regained his posture he turned to he well-dressed gentlemen nodding to him " I am just looking around Sir, thank you for the concern but I just wish to explore my surroundings first" he dipped his head politely before walking off into the sprawling bazaar.
