History: He was a bastard born out of an affair, and his mother always resented and mistreated him for it out of spite. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the mountains to a summer home near a large cave. He would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and he was stranded inside. His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the mountains due to the painful memories there. Purson took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up whip and armor he uses now. Days after completing his studies, news broke out that his hometown was attacked by gnolls. Purson was horrified and prayed that his father was alright. However, he heard that his father had died fighting off the gnolls.
