Kib Absold

Background and Notes

Kib was born to a family of lower merchant class, the fifth of ten children (third son). His father was a stonemason with a keen mind for business, whose acumen allowed him to buy a Lordship and enter his family into the nobility. With his father's support and new-found influence, Kib was brought up into the military as an officer.

A couple of years before the beginning of our story, Kib was sent to fight in minor skirmishes on the Odessan border. He fought and led well enough, and was in the running for a commendation into a real military command, but returned to find his family embroiled in a scandal of corruption. Stripped of name, title, and rank, he was discharged from the regular army in a town far from his home, where he finds himself today.

Goals

Kib would eventually like to see his father's name cleared, and restored to its former title. He is convinced that nothing that his father was accused of could have happened, and knows he must hurry, before the stay in prison takes its toll.

Kib's immediate goals are to find enough work to get him enough money to start finding the information he needs to find. He knows that a regular job won't cut it, and stories of the vast riches recovered by soldiers of fortune and adventure-seekers have given him hope.
