Avan Pentos

Background
After running away from home, around the age of eight, he found work on merchant cog which was eventually boarded and sunk by pirates. He was pressed into service as simple deck hand. After a double mutiny by a freshly promoted first mate, followed by a mutiny of the sail maker, Avan switched his allegiances to ensure that his shackles were loosened as much as possible.

After the mutiny Avan became suspected to have enflamed and prolonged the mutiny to take out revenge on his former enslavers. Before the crew could make any decision Avan fled the vessel in a life boat. Strong enough to row but uneducated in navigation and sailing, Avan was fished out of the sea by the notorious pirate captain M. - exhausted from sailing/rowing in circles.

M. accepted Avan into the crew and took him as an apprentice.

Following the reformation of Limsa Lominsa governmental structure he enlisted as marauder in the now existing guild. He accepted a job offer to work for an imperial agent and was banned from the guild and Limsa Lominsa, barely avoiding death sentence for high treason.

He leaves Limsa Lominsa and head to Wineport, hearing that a guard might be hired to protect the wine trade.
