Background:
Tiberius was born to the daughter of a middle-class Amnian merchant. When the young Ariadne became pregnant, her father interrogated her vigorously about the identity of the father of her child, but fear always entered her eyes and her fear of her own father proved to pale in comparison. When Tiberius was born, her father ceased to ask any questions, he didn't want to know the answer, because his grandson was an abomination in his eyes.

The merchant couldn't kill his grandson, but he also couldn't allow this shame to destroy his business, so he hid him away as best he could. Tiberius' lineage served him well when he finally was overcome with his own boredom and he managed to find ways to slip out of his house. Without the knowledge of his mother and grandfather, Tiberius ran amock in the streets, falling in with a rough crowd. Their group of miscreants started with petty theft, becoming more organized and more dangerous as they aged. For some of them the money allowed them to buy anything they really wanted, for others it was merely a form of entertainment and defiance, but Tiberius came to revel in the power he wielded over his 'gang' and the averted and fearful looks of the other slum dwellers.

By the time he reached his twenties, Tiberius was recognized by most of the city's guards, although they couldn't prove any of his crimes. An initiate Paladin of Tyr, traveling through the city, overheard some of the guards talking and took it upon himself to secretly force a confession from the Tiefling. The incident got ugly and Tiberius would surely have been slain if a cleric of Myrkul had not slain the Paladin of Tyr. This first brush with the divine deeply impressed the Tiefling and he craved more than the gang he already had, he wanted to be able to personally crush his enemies without lifting a blade.

Wanted for the murder of the paladin, and with the Church of Myrkul needing a representative to ensure the loyalty of a new convert, Tiberius pledged his soul eternally to the Lord of Bones, sealing it in blood, and fled to Baldurs Gate to find his charge and ensure the loyalty of one who still served wholly by choice.

Goals: Increase both in magical and political power (with faint dreams that he may one day ascend to divinity)
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
-He is wanted for murder, so someone from Amn might find him.
-His old crew may find him
-He has also spoken at times as if he has no choice now but to serve Myrkul, so he may eventually try to find a way to negotiate his way out of the pact.
