Personal history
Several years ago I was a deckhand on a trading vessel. I have since forgotten the name due to the experiments. One regular day on the ship turned my life into living hell. We were sacked by pirates and I was captured into slavery. See, Tengu are a rare sight in Halcadia and that's why the pirates took interest in me instead of killing me. Always with profit in mind I guess. They took me to Calliope port. We exited their ship, with a musket to my back we set off, probably to a black market somewhere in the port. Thinking back, I don' remember being scared to die, I didn't think they would do that. But I was definitely worried about where I would end up, and how I could escape and exact justice on these pirates.
Immediately after exiting the port section of the city a figure black cloak stopped the pirates and asked their price for me. His voice was smooth, cold, and calculated as if he knew exactly what the pirates were going to say in response to his question. He was around 6'5" and the little skin I could see was either extremely pale or pure white. I could not see anything else he was wearing or what, if any, equipment he carried. As he spoke to the pirates I could see his cloak start to show small pulses of blue that seemed to grow in intensity and occurrence the more he talked. The pirates named their price, and the figure, without allowing a second to pass, doubled the price in exchange that the pirates would forget this transaction occurred. They immediately agreed. Once the money was handed over the pirates were walked away cheering and in banter as if they had just won the lottery. As the figure led me down the dark alley I though, "What is this guy going to do with me? He just payed 10,000gp for a kid without hesitation?" As my mind wandered to the horrible things I may experience I heard him muttering something in a language I didn't understand. Before I could even question him, I fell unconscious.
My memory is extremely fuzzy for the next few years. I don't remember much of anything except extreme pain, the cold steel of shackles on my wrists, and the damp cold of being underground. For that time I seemingly did not have my own will, just what was forced upon me. I remember others being there. Adolescents just like me. I only remember one name from that time. Alestor, or "Tormentor".
One day I was in my cell, and I woke up from the control. It felt like I had been asleep for years and a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I stood up and could immediately tell I was significantly taller that the usual Tengu, and weighed much more as well. I decided that enough was enough. I was going to get out of here and bring the same pain inflicted upon me to my captors. If not now, one day...
