Stopping the Cycle

Vrag's story begins deep within the Redhorne Mountains. He was born into a family of moderate means, but he would not grow up to know his parents. His family was taken from him one night when a band of thieves decided to take more than just jewelry. As is customary for Jotun babies without parents, he was dropped off at the orphanage. Vrag spent a number of his younger years at this orphanage performing chores and being reprimanded nearly all the time by corrupt caretakers. At his 7th year there, the orphanage was invaded by Jotun Raiders and many children were taken and caretakers slain. Vrag was among a few of the children that were sold to a crime family as they had requested the job on the orphanage be done and needed young members. And so his life of forced bad deeds began, doing things that he could not justify, but had no choice for his own sake. Years went by and Vrag was hardened by his actions, his heart blackened. He had become a valued member of the crime family, and had stolen or taken enough that he wanted for nothing. Sleepless nights began to wear on him over time. Always under the thumb of the boss, never truly given an ounce of freedom in his entire life. Every Jotun has their breaking point and Vrag had reached his when given a job that involved killing a family that had children. Then and there he decided he could not complete the cycle that had started his life. After having learned everything he knew and honing his abilities, in the cover of the night he escaped, leaving no trace, never looking back.
