Background:
Scab was born in the city of Suzail, capital of Cormyr. He spent the first years of his life in the city with his family. His father was a respected merchant in the capital and young Scab had a comfortable early life. He was educated to read and write and in other subjects. It was clear that he was being prepared to follow his fathers steps from a very young age. Reyden family men had always been respected traders and it would not be any different for Scab. Young boy did not however do well in his studies. He had no difficulty in his lessons, in fact he learned quickly if he wanted, but he simply lacked interest in any subject. He had one older brother and one little brother, who did far better than he did. This didn't concern young Scab much, but his father took note of it. A few years rolled by and Scab did not show any more progress with his studies. Often he would escape his private class first opportunity and left to explore the city on his own. It wasn't anything new that a search party was eventually sent to bring the young boy back, often from the city harbor.
His father was a firm and cold man and he grew tired of his sons recklessness to the point he did not want him in his household anymore. He sent young Scab to his cousin in the city Proskur, despite the wishes of his wife. Scab loved his mother and he was angry with his father for sendig him away from her, anger that exists this very day. Scab was soon taken to his kin in Proskur. A man named Helios took him in, because of a debt he owned to Scabs father. He was to raise the boy and if anything good came of him send him back to his family in Suzail for reconsideration. Helios was a locksmith and trapper byt trade and did well enough for himself. He could easily afford to raise young Scab and he had no children of his own. Unsure how to raise young Scab, Helios passed on his skills with locks, traps and trapmaking. Scab quickly learned to like these crafts and quickly became fluent with them. He began working for his cousin and eventually, when he was old enough, continued Helios trade on his own. Scab made his living opening locks for people that had lost keys, making traps for people, both poor and wealthy, for security or other means and so on. Pertty much anyone that needed something open or some kind of trap could get it from Scab. Even the shady characters used his services. Life was good.
A chain of event where Scab was working, unknown to him, for a gang of thieves eventually led him in prison. This was a fatal blow to his business in Proskur, even though his sentence was only a year long. He paid his fines and soon found out that no one trusted him anymore. He couldn't make a living this way anymore and had nothing keeping him in the city or in the region for that matter. He then decided to leave the city and start exploring his choices on the road. A decision that eventually led him to the High Road and in front of the Gates of Baldur's Gate.
