Background: He doesn't know where he was born or who are his parents. He was left in front of the door of an Illmatarian orphanage in Waterdeep, few days after his birth. The only thing he had got was an iron bracelet with the name "Jerry" written on. So "Jerry" became his name and "Stevenson" his surname, as the surname of the priest who first found him.
Till the age of ten he lived in the orphanage and showed a great talent in singing during the rituals but rebel and curious traits also.
From the age of ten to the age of 15 he did several escapes from the orphanage and got involved in some little crimes.
Thanks to his intelligence, his strenght and overall his natural leadership attitude, he managed to set up a small gang of kids in the city slums near the docks. There he learnt to open locks and other useul skills.
When he was 15 years old seemed that a great occasion showed up: the leader of a great gang asked him and his companions to help him for a great job.
Unfortunately the errand was to act as a bait for the guards, allowing the other gang to escape with the stolen goods.
Despite the betrayal he managed to attract all guards on him and gave his friends the chance to run off.
Arrested, he was condemned to three year's detention.
Altough hard, that were the most important years in Jerry's life.
In prison he met his future mentor: Gaelion. A bard.
Gaelion saw Jerry's hidden power and offered him his help to properly develop it. So Jerry learnt the basics of bardic magic, improved his fighting skills brawling with other prisoners and thanks to the various races and peoples who were in that jail he learnt halfling,
elven and iluskan languages also. Little by little thanks to Gaelion, Jerry changed his view of the world, he found again his curiousity and his will to socialize. He also started to ask himself why a powerful and good bard like Gaelion was arrested and why he didn't escape from there, but all that questions remained without answers, Gaelion didn't like to talk about his past.
3 years later, when he was 18 years old, Jerry was released from jail and started his new life following the advice of Gaelion, he was performing in the taverns for a bed and earning some money with trick's shows in the streets.
Two years later Gaelion got off jail and they went to live together, were continuing training and setting up a little entertaiment company to perform in taverns and organize slum's tour for nobles in search of strong emotions.
Businesses went well for some years, until during one of that tours, a gang of thieves, which wanted to kidnapp the nobles, waylaid them.
Thanks to their skills and bardic magic Jerry and Gaelion managed to escort the nobles back to their houses safe and sound.
The nobles rewarded them with a good amount of gold pieces for each and asked them to repeat the experience, "it was so exciting" they said!
Smiling the bards went back to their home but just next to the door they found the thieves' gang who was waiting for them.
The thieves' leader spoke and said the bards were going to pay for their intrusion and that he knew the youngest bard and believed he was died in jail.
Jerry finally recognized him, he was the man who betrayed him several years before.
After an hard struggle, during which Jerry stole a greatsword from a stunned enemy, Jerry and Gaelion succeeded to escape and reached the city gate.
It came the time to leave Waterdeep, at least to let the dust settle.
They decided to take different roads, to make less easier for the thieves to follow their tracks, so Gaelion decided to go North, he had ever dreamt to explore the Icewind Dale, while Jerry decided to join a merchant caravan headed to Baldur's Gate.
After a long hug they promised each other that one day they'll have returned to Waterdeep and they'll have shared all the experiences they will have been made, next to a fire and with a good glass of wine. With a smile they greet and started their journeys.
After some days of travel Jerry arrived to Baldur's Gate, paid the merchants and with his new greatsword and some pieces of gold in his hands, he started his new adventure.
Goals: To explore the Sword Coast and make everyday a better experience, train his skills and one day return to Waterdeep
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: He can be stalked by Waterdeep thieves, which can be in contact with BG's guild, he can receive news or help request from Gaelion, he can discover something about Gaelion's past or hidden activities ( Gaelion could have been an Harper Agent or could had got some secret affairs in Waterdeep), he can discover something about his unknown past (parents, where does he come from, his bracelet story).
