Yet being born to a smithy who preferred the drink to work presented him with little means to achieve such a dream. An early grave welcomed his father, and at the age of fourteen Etienne abandoned his mother for the elusive wealth and status of his youthful dreams. By birthright he would never be the man he wanted to be, but by might he could and so he did. Whether by himself, or with associates found around various campfires Etienne took what he wanted, when he wanted, and how he wanted. Merchant caravans, tax collectors, and murder-for-hire filled his pockets and delivered status he could never hope to attain banging iron. Croc Fonce' ("Dark Fang"), as he was called, terrorized the local areas with his twin shortswords and dark attire. As a man known for despicable tasks, Croc Fonce' came to the attention of a certain mage who wished for a fellow mage to be eliminated. Fearing the powers of such a target Croc Fonce' at first declined, but the mage provided a protective salve and enchanted dagger for the slaying. After circumventing the mage's defenses Croc Fonce' slew the victim in his sleep. Counter to his agreement to leave everything untouched, he took as part of his payment a brooch and kept the dagger, it's enchantment spent. Two days later, Croc Fonce' was celebrating with his band of brigands when he had strange presentiment of danger. Disturbed by its clarity, he went to lie down moments before the mage who had hired him attacked the camp, raining destruction upon his band - slaying them all. Croc Fonce' barely escaped the destruction, disappearing into the mountains, pursued, or thinking himself pursued, by the mage. Days spent on the run took their toll on the outlaw forcing him to survive on what he had escaped with. Nearing starvation Croc Fonce' came upon a small house and driven by bloodlust he murdered the family, including their crying infant. The next day when Croc Fonce' awoke from his night of indulgence with the family's stores, the child's cries could still be heard deep within his head. Fearing the haunting associated with the house he fled, tormented by the wailing and in desperate need of help. ============================================================================ Yearly/Seasonal Activity 1200 and 1201 - fishing goes from 0 to 2/2 over the two years 1202, Age 32: - Fishing ->3/1, Two weapons->5/1 1203, Age 33: Fishing->3/3, Survival 3/0, Carouse 2/2, Bargain 3/3 1204, Age 34: Single->3/0, Two Weap->5/2, Thrown Dagger->2/1 1205: Age 35: Spring: Resue Guillaume, Premonitions->1/1, Survival ->3/1 Aging roll:+3 age, -1 Social Class/Environment: 0+2, No effect. 1206: Age 36: Spring: Trip to Grenoble, Bargain->4/0 Aging roll:+3 age, -1 Social Class/Environment: 0+2 1207: Age 37, Premonitions->2/1, Aging roll:+3 age, -1 Social Class/Environment: 5+2 Annoying Physical affliction, Bad Back
