Born to a minor Elven merchant family Drarik Haldon showed some small promise as a child and was being groomed to take over the security portion of his family’s interests until business intrigues resulted in the complete destruction of the Haldon power base and interests and Drarik being sold to a group of slavers at the age of 14. Drarik remained in Slavery for over 40 years, plotting to escape and taste freedom. His naturally dextrous nature made him an obvious selection for his master to train in the arts of stealth and quiet death with idea of eventually grooming him to be an assassin. Unfortunately for his master the lessons of skullduggery and treachery took root a little too deeply and Drarik escaped slavery after introducing his masters lungs to the pointed end of a dagger.
Drarik’s early life has lead him to be different from other elves in that he did not have time enough to form strong attachments to either his race or any family. The only mentoring he received was the training his master inflicted on him from early childhood and the only morality he was ever introduced to was that the Strong rule and the Weak serve them. Drarik is unsure of the path ahead of him, but he has resolved that he will be one of the strong going forward into life.
