History: He was born the only child of a wealthy merchant. In his 19th year, while out on a day-trip, he returned to find his hometown burning and destroyed. He found his mother impaled in their home, and his father beheaded. He saw the man who walked out, and charged him in a blind rage. The man easily evaded and defeated him, leaving him to live broken and terrified. He now has a substantial network of resources ranging from contacts to ships to peers.

Through the years after Fivin was born, his mother became increasingly distant from his family, instead choosing to pursue power in the north.
