Fen'an

Fen'an was orphaned at age 8 after their nomadic clan was attacked by orcs. They managed to survive by following travelers and stealing from them once they'd set up camp and gone to sleep. Fen'an would hide around the camp and listen to the travelers as well learning how to socialize, tell stories and entertain and learn local gossip. They ended up in Waterdeep after following a camp of merchants in an attempt to rob them of their cargo but upon arriving found that they had been beaten to the loot and the merchants had died. They remained in Waterdeep, squatting in abandoned buildings around the docks, stealing what they could and scavenging the rest. One day while out looking for food they came upon Toombs who was running a card game and was conned out of their last piece of gold. They decided to stake out Toombs' barrel to attempt to steal it back (with interest) and found only a pile of rags where their darkvision told them Toombs' sleeping figure should have been. They returned to their abandoned building they were currently squatting in and found Toombs twirling their gold piece absent-mindedly between his fingers while, to add insult to injury, also eating their food. Enraged they took a flying leap towards him, did three flips in the air and end leaped off the wall to end up behind Toombs, their dagger to his neck. This gained Toombs's respect and he took Fen'an on as an assistant/protege.
