The Carter family where a family lineage full of merchants. From the day the Carters landed in Arcas they had sought to buy cheap and sell high. This had over the years made them moderatley wealthy. That is until the great wars conducted by the Holy Orenian Empire. Especially the war with the Free State of Sutica as a lot of trade the Carters dealt with involved Sutica. With the raising of taxes and the call for troops the Carter family slowly lost they status and wealth. Thomas for now was just another member of this dying family. A family with no real influence in the world anymore. His dad the head of the house and spent away most of what was left of the Carter fortune on wine and good food. His mother had died a few years after his birth due to an unexplained illness. Thomas was mostly left to fend for himself through his upbringing, with no mother, siblings, or even household pets. His father Aethorn had sent him to live at a boarding school in Helena, which Thomas always found weird because the family house was there too. At school is where he met most of his friends, who had all sadly passed away at early ages. Thomas had also attended college as his aspiration was always to seek political office, he thought of it as a way to rebuild the family name. After graduation Thomas worked up until his 27th birthday as a baker at a small bakery, until his employer had discovered that he didn't really believe in the teaching of the church of Canonism. He now finds himself unemployed and nothing to his name, and in need of a fresh start. Thomas had noticed a posting outside the House of Commons seeking candidates for election, perhaps one day. First things first Thomas needs to find a place to live and employment to make a living.
