Born in the Underdark like most Dark Elves i was raised for 4 years by my mother until she and my sister died in a tragic accident in the Overworld which further convinced my father that to stay in the Underdark so, at age 16 when i chose to leave the only place id ever known to go above and find my own way everyone was against me. Even though i was pretty much exiled from everything I had known and was thrust into a new life I set out to make a living. So i distanced myself from the world and became the man i still am today, making a small living by pick-pocketing and, how should i say it, "negotiating".
