Background:
Born in Roaring Shores to a two crown (germbag) Dando grew up fast. When everyone who might would crew the pirate ships he was an easy target for the jests of the other gutter runners as his great weight made it near impossible to swim. What he was good at was fighting, and he did often. A reputation was garnered and this brought him to the attention of the guilds, and at fourteen he was on the streets with the extortionists, twisting arms and breaking legs. He became a favourite of Nepthes Incarxles, a tiefling extortionsist and racket master, for his wit, and his bravery. Incarxles tought him the Infernal tongue, to love drink and smoking cigars, and gambling.
When Incarxles fell, a victim of assassins, Dando fled the island.
His extraordinarily different look gained him favout with a gypsy caravn, and he travelled with them fora time, recovering his humour, and learning from his first lover, an older woman called Miranda the Sylvan tongue.
When Miranda wandered to the bed of another, Dando battered his competition to a bloody pulp and was banished from the wagons.
He wandered into Baldur's Gate prepared for anything he thought, but only time will tell if he will be proven right.
Goals:
To find a place for himself, wealth and skill.
