Thomas Port was born in a small village belonging to the Holy Oren Empire. He was raised to a family of poor farmers living as serfs to a local landlord. Thomas spent the majority of his childhood as a farmhand, assisting the village's farmers with various tasks such as planting seeds, plowing land and feeding animals. The child Thomas also became an apprentice to the village's smith to which he helped to produce tools for the peasants living in the village. Thomas grew up in a religious community which was true to the Church of the Canon, and as a result Thomas became a rather zealous believer, considering the Church's doctrine to be the only one true faith and dismissing all other religions. 

As Thomas grew in age, his parents began assigning him larger tasks such as carrying carts to nearby cities and giving them to the city's merchants, then returning with the payment. However, traveling the roads of the Empire can often be a hazardous as bandits roam the country, raid and pillage serfs and villages, and kill without remorse. Not once Thomas found himself surronded by those bands which would often extort him for what little money and goods he had for safe passage on the road. Some bandits would also beat him up just because it entertained them and the poor peasant was unable to defend himself. 

Therefore, Thomas grew a deep dislike for peasants, but also for life in the village which he consdiered dangerous and unproductive. He therefore traveled to a larger city where he hopes to become an apprentice to one of the craftsmen and make some wealth for himself.
