Nikau of Skjoldier has a father and a mother, mother being Lexie of Skjoldier and father being Robert of Skjoldier. Both parents soldiers, raised by soldiers themselves. The family trade. Then there's Nikau. Only child. Niko was raised from birth to be a soldier for Skjoldier. In early life he embraced it as it was all he knew. He spent his young adult life training for militia, doing training drills, town guard duty, studying old combat scrolls. But one fateful day, Nikau found himself in combat with a rogue orc raid party. He did his best, but overwhelmed, he was forced to retreat. But the orcs hunted down each one of the retreaters, including Nikau. Their raid party leader left only Nikau alive, tearing out his eye and carving his groups symbol into Nikaus back. Nikau headed home, bleeding and on the verge of death. He didn't make it far before passing out. He then awoke, luckily having been picked up by some stray travellers. Back in Skjoldier, Nikau was shunned and thrown out of the militia due to his new missing eye and his failure in battle. So then Nikau set out alone, to find a new home, on a ferry to the Empire of Man.
The traveller has just arrived in a small town. As they look around, their gaze is met with run down houses and shops. They duck into one of the shacks, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the small room, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town?" She begins, then pauses to study their face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a chair, “Where do you come from? What do you hope to make of yourself?”

Nikau stares at the strange lady, taking a second to process the bombardment of questions. "I'm from Skjoldier. I'm here to find a home. And a better leader to fight for." He looks down at the floor, clearly remembering troublesome times. Catching this, the lady chimes in again, "And you're planning to settle in with us are you? No, I know who you are..." She pauses, making this strange encounter all the more - strange. She starts muttering to herself, repeating words, counting on her fingers. Nikau is about to say something when she cuts in - "I GOT IT. You've found me because I can sort out that eye of yours. And answer any questions you have about yourself. Of course." She says these things, directed at Nikau but also almost to herself. But Nikau doesn't argue. She's right after all. She is exactly who he's been searching for.
