Quinrayaes

Quinrayaes, or just "Quin" to most, has lived a life of mostly solitude. Having been born to two human parents, both parents fought and hatred grew between them, as some mysterious Elf out there was his real father.

His parents' marriage had gotten so bad, the father was planning to have his wife killed and have it look like an accident. He was unsure, and told the assassin if he doesn't tell him to stop, to go ahead with it. He was going to call it off, but that evening, before he went to call off the hit, his wife poisoned him. Hearing no word from the father, the assassin went ahead with the hit and killed the wife, leaving Quin an orphan.

Raised in an orphanage, Quin made a concerted effort to avoid being placed in a new home, not wanting what happened to his parents to happen again. Instead he stayed in the orphanage, humming and singing and telling tales to all the other kids. After a few years, Quin grew into a bard and when he became an adult he left the orphanage seeking to live in the world, collecting and telling stories as he went.
