Background: Fastolph was born and grew up in eastern Amn-- Esmeltaran. His upbringing was fairly typical of poorer class hin in the large city. He ran with a gang, the Gravediggers, where he learned to stay light, move quick, cut deep, and clear out fast. When he wasn't brawling he enjoyed dice and games like three shells and a pea in vacant lots and street corners. Most of his friends were of the less-reputable sort and he envied many their skills in circumventing the numerous traps and locks their richer neighbors employed to little effect against their gang. While he was never able to master such skills himself, his time with them did allow him to assimilate the same stealth they employed in getting in and out. His keen eyes and quick blades were a welcome help to them as well as he often served as lookout and rear guard on these little "trips." Eventually wanderlust and curiousity got the best of him so that his small world was no longer big enough and he set out on the road meandering his way northward and eventually out of Amn. Fastolph is guarded about his past. He wants to be good but must fight his nature and nurture constantly.

Goals: If asked about his goals he is vague-- meet a nice lass, make some clink, be the bestest knife fighter on the coast, maybe get some really neat knives or fancy clothing. He really doesn't know and just tries to get by living day to day. His most recent interaction was a happenstance meeting with the proprietor of the NTE, Delphinn Veil, IG. He was interested in the scouting and guard work suggested and the possibility of earning some coin.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:

Perhaps one of his old cronies from Amn needs his help...
Maybe some trouble comes out arising from a previous dalliance...
Pretty open here to DM suggestion. Maybe I'll think of others or some will come out of IG RP.
