    Highlander Barbas Mandolay grew up in a village nestled against the Czena River, working on a farm with his parents. For most of his young life he was raised in a sheltered style, with his parents telling him little of the outside world and encouraging him to stay and work at the farm. Following an encounter with a passing traveller who told him tales of the great cities and temples that Arcas offers, his intrigue peaked and the seed was planted in his mind. Year passed and he quickly grew tired of the farm life, increasingly asking each passing traveller where they had been and where they were going to. These attempts to live vicariously through those he spoke with only angered his parents, and the resulting friction and confrontation would eventually force Barbas to leave. His opportunity came when members of the village were travelling into Markev to trade crops and provide food to the city. Upon convincing the farmers that he could join, he left in the early hours of a Spring morning without telling his parents. The promises of Markev made by that traveller from years past were true, and beyond Barbas’ own comprehension! He could never have imagined such a sprawl of buildings and people, and he slipped away from the fellow farmers he travelled with began to ask every shopkeep and tavern for a bed to sleep in and a place to work. It took several days of pandering and persuasion but he eventually began work at a busy tavern under a man named Thorah. He spent many of his formative years here as a young adult, making ends meet and listening to the various stories of those who would come in, whilst practising under the Church of Canon given Thorah’s steadfast beliefs. He also began to explore the city itself and the surrounding areas. In working and watching the way the city works, Barbas learned two things; firstly he began to understand the ways in which the city works, breathes and functions. Secondly, he grew distasteful of some of the treatment given to the local people by the guards and royalty. This coupled with his aforementioned knowledge of the city, fuelled a desire to kick out at the-powers-that-be. As such, he began to build up a small and very successful smuggling trade in and out of the tavern under the nose of Thorah, providing small arms and food to some of the locals he knew and trusted. However, upon discovery of this by the guards themselves, Barbas was forced to give it up and leave the city. Despite the sadness he feels in leaving Markev, he realises this is an opportunity in itself – to further explore the lands and use his skills to better understand the lands of Arcas.
