Fenwyck was born in the Kingdom of Norland, as a simple peasant. There isn't much more to say, just another peasant working the land as a serf. The boredom of serfdom was glaring to Fenwyck as he grew older, but he saw no way out. One fateful day, a traveling merchant's caravan arrived and brought with it a group of adventurers. Fenwyck spoke with them and finally saw his potential, a life outside of the farm. After thinking for a few weeks, he attempted to escape. Though at first successful, he was eventually caught and thrown in a prison.
Prison seemed to be the end of the line, but for Fenwyck a new chapter arose. While he wallowed in despair, he listened to prisoners that were jailed for their dangerous ideas. These prisoners, they mentioned how serfdom was slavery and the great ideal of democracy. These ideas were a bit too complex for Fenwyck to entirely understand. But he understood the gist of them and it gave him enough inspiration to attempt to escape. In a stroke of brilliance, he did escape and ran far through the woods.

Fenwyck slowly nodded his head in agreement, maybe he did long for adventure. But as he heard wealth, he recoiled back and yelled out, cutting off the merchant from speaking.
"Wealth?!? Who do you think I am! Feed into the oppressive tyrants by craving wealth?"
He brought out a shiny flanged mace and as he brought it up he wobbled. Much too unbalanced for a man of his stature. He looks at his clothing with scorn.
"You just feed into their, oppressive tyranny?" Even he seems confused, tapping his foot and looking around nervously to think about what he should say next.
Fenwyck turns to the crowd, wanting to get their attention. "Look at this greedy man!"
But the crowd ignores him, some even spit at him and walk on.
"TYRANTS!" He says one last word, before he slams the mace down on a market stall. He trips after, but quickly picks himself up and runs down an alley.
