Jean was born in Margraviate of Avistra and both of his parents killed at a young age.
Because he was left all alone he had to learn alternative ways to survive, he would pickpocket people and sleep in abandoned houses. He developed a shy personality never speaking to anyone, he ends up meeting Kestrel Altwegg who he tries to steal from aswell, instead of punishing him kestrel offered him work. Jean didn't trust anyone and would have his guard up for years, but because of what he went through he was perfect for scouting and ambushes. He learned knife fighting before any proper fighting skills because its easier to carry in the streets. Jean dislikes killing people unless necessary or forced to, he becomes known within the militia for always staying calm during battle. Even after being more intergrated Jean speaks very little and avoids people in the Avistran millitia. Kestrel is like family to jean but Jean is still very afraid of returning to poverty which makes him extremely loyal to the militia.
Jean closes the door behind him, keeping his hand close to his knife as he sits on the chair, he looks around at the floating candles before meeting the eyes of the old woman.
"I come from Avistra" he says after a long silence. "Worked in the militia there, mostly scouting." He pauses as hes uncomfortable speaking about himself.
"I dont really know what i want to become." Jean leans back and says "Most people where i used to live just try to survive till the next winter, thats what I did."
He goes silent again, his hand still on the handle of his knife. "You said you were expecting me, what did you mean?" he says cautiously. Met by the eery silence of the woman, Jean was deeply unsettled.
He swiftly got back up on his feet and turned the other direction not looking back. His heart racing, figuring the woman was some sort of evil sorcerer. "GOOD GOD, thank you for keeping me safe" as he clasps his necklace with a cross.
