"Shiv"
Shiv was born a bastard to a young woman in Tahoma, a small hamlet about a day north of Vilamond . His uncle took them both in, but raised him with resentment and hostility. Shiv grew up scrawny, malnourished, and not well taken care of. At the age of 12 his uncle took the opportunity to send him to the northern shores where pirates and smugglers were known to take on boys as cheap deckhands. Shiv however—because of his weak stature—was poorly fit to serve under the harsh conditions and abuse, and was eventually left behind on a stop in Vilamond.
He took refuge in the slums, and found that he had a talent for the less noble skills required to survive in the squalor. He shunned his family name just as his family had shunned him, and took on the street name "Shiv". He had quickly adjusted to the desperate chaotic lifestyle, living day-to-day, and was always looking for the next score.
As fate demanded, he once again found himself ending up on a smuggler's ship to Blauthafvn , but this time as a transporter and not on the bottom of the ladder as a deckhand. On the trip back he met a curious individual, a half-orc named Garth Grimhammer . They connected well, found out that quick cash was a mutual interest, and started planning how to advance their business. Once back in Vilamond, Shiv got word from an old acquaintance about a new job and arranged a meeting at the Mug on the Pier.
