Background: Nicholas is the first born to Anton and Elena Benson of Selgaunt. He and along with his two younger siblings, Marcus and Vivian, lived hard, but privileged life within the city, as their grandfather was considered a hero for his service to Sembia. Like his father had done, Nicholas aimed to keep up the honor of the Benson name that his grandfather had established by becoming a public figure and enforcing the rule of Selgaunt.

That all changed one day, however, when Anton Benson was found murdered in his courtyard. The evidence, the stab wound and the feather left at the scene, pointed to Nicholas as the murderer. But this was not the case, Nicholas had been framed. To furtehr add to the mystery, Elena and Marcus were nowhere to be found.(Vivian had left Sembia 5 years prior to this event) His name tarnished and his arrest being sought, Nicholas fled Sembia to meet up with his uncle, Ricard, who resided in Berdusk to gain support in finding the killer of his father.

When he got there, he found the house torn asunder as if ransacked by bandits. No sign of his uncle or his wife, Leah, were among the wreckage, but a strange symbol was found, that Nicholas had never seen before. With no leads, and concern for the conspiracy upon his family, Nicholas heads to Baldur's Gate to seek Vivian, who was last rumored to be living around the area.

Goals: To find out what happened to the rest of his family. Find out what the symbol means. Secondary goal is to master the art of swordplay, and hopefully use that as a means to the primary goal.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: Nicholas has been going by Nick. He is a wanted man in Sembia.

Vivian is 6 years younger than Nicholas. Its been 5 years since they last spoke, so she can be up to anything.

Marcus is 2 years younger than Nicholas. The extent of whether he is involved or a victim to this ordeal is unknown. Same goes for Elena, Ricard, and Leah.

Ricard and Leah have a son, Ricard Jr., who is at the time of this bio age 24. He was not residing at the house at the time it was ransacked and may or may not be involved in this.

The symbol could be anything that isn't a native Seal of Sembia. Nicholas has no knowledge of origin of this symbol.
