History

Early life

Nathan was orphaned when he was three years old when both parents died due to a house fire. His mother suffocated and burned, and his father died from a skin infection he developed shortly thereafter.

Nathan lived his early years with his aunt until he was a teen, and moved out as soon as he could. Taking less than legal odd jobs to sustain himself. The Camorian Rebellion had ended close to 20 years ago at this point, but there were still many opportunities to take advantage of for anyone willing to exploit a vulnerable situation.

At some point he had a change of heart, discarding his then criminal ways for a life of good. In an effort to evade his old life he moved from Millthorpe to Kinbrook Crossing to start anew.

Career as a mercenary

Nathan was the founder of a group for uniquely capable people to start out their careers as mercenaries, bodyguards, and adventurers. Most of these were capable fighters, but some were non-combattants with other skills and abilities, like adepts, scholars and experts.

The most notable early event of this group was the clearing of the Wellspring facility in the Mistwreath. Which was described in the book The Shadows of the Past. This was his first big score, securing him the money needed to set out on his adventuring path. Some fortune, but mostly fame.
