Fenwyck was born in the Kingdom of Norland, as a simple peasant. There isn't much more to say, just another peasant working the land as a serf. The boredom of serfdom was glaring to Fenwyck as he grew older, but he saw no way out. One fateful day, a traveling merchant's caravan arrived and brought with it a group of adventurers. Fenwyck spoke with them and finally saw his potential, a life outside of the farm. After thinking for a few weeks, he attempted to escape. Though at first successful, he was eventually caught and thrown in a prison.
Prison seemed to be the end of the line, but for Fenwyck a new chapter arose. While he wallowed in despair, he listened to prisoners that were jailed for their dangerous ideas. These prisoners, they mentioned how serfdom was slavery and the great ideal of democracy. These ideas were a bit too complex for Fenwyck to entirely understand. But he understood the gist of them and it gave him enough inspiration to attempt to escape. In a stroke of brilliance, he did escape and ran far through the woods.
