The son of a wealthy aristocrat, Sqruawk grew tired of the mundane life of luxury and decided to pursue a more thrilling existence. Inspired by tales of high-flying adventures and the freedom of the skies, he abandoned his estate and took to the air, becoming an sky pirate. At least that was the plan. Fortunes spent and friendships lost, Sqruawk returns to Cliffshore nearly penniless. He hides this, though, from others through his many boasts about his mis-adventures.
