I grew up in a burnt down house and my days were spent running from the law. I became a sellsword the day I narrowly escaped death. Tragedy struck my characters hometown. A section of the town including where he grew up burned down. An unfortunate misunderstanding caused the law to blame me for what went wrong. After being arrested, he was to be hung. A friend on the inside who believed in me set me free. My character has been on the run ever since, taking up the sellsword life to support himself.
