Background:
Born to a barwench (Named Brandy, but he does not know this, having never seen his mother), in one of the many dockside taverns in Luskan. His mother was a slave, who made her living as a prostitute to the countless pirates and sailors that sailed in and out of the port of Luskan.
He does not know who his father is, as his father never returned to Luskan again, or if he did, he did not visit his mother or the dive she worked in. It is from his fathers side, that he gained his Tiefling heritage.
As soon as he was born, his mother dropped him off at the secretive Monastery of Valkur's Reach just outside Luskan (She had heard about it from one of the monks who was a regular patron of hers when he snuck into Luskan during a supply run), abandoning him.
The monks of Valkur's Reach are a cooperative of followers of Tempus Exarches, Valkur and the Red Knight. They took Guido in and raised him in the ways of the Sailor and Tactician, teaching him to fight a highly stylized form of Rapier that incorporates monk defensive movements.
When he turned 16, he was told by the head monk of the monastery, to head to sea and seek his fortunes. He hired on to the first ship he encountered in Luskan that was hiring. It was a Pirate ship named "The Sauhaugin." He sailed on this ship for less than one voyage, quickly earning the enmity of the cruel and abusive Captain.
After being flogged mercilessly for something he did not do, he jumped ship at the first oportunity, dropping over in the middle of the night, when in sight of the lights of a village, and swam to shore.
He made his way to Baldur's Gate, and took a position on a Corsair, a Pirate Hunting Frigate called "Roxanne's Honor," after the daughter of a Noble of Baldur's Gate, who was kidnapped, raped and murdered during a Luskan Pirate raid on his coastal estate outside the city.
The ship is currently in dry dock undergoing repairs from a series of fierce battles combined with the normal damage to the hull from worms and barnacles. Guido now explores the lands around Baldur's Gate waiting for his ship to come out of drydock, or to find his fortune, and get his own Corsair Captainship, and hunt down the Captain of "The Sahaugin" and exact revenge.
Goals: To be Captain of a Pirate Hunting Corsair in service to a City State or Kingdom.
