Personal history

Flax was born in Hupperdook. He never knew his parents, his family being whoever else was sharing the shantytown hut he lived in. There's a period of time he doesn't like thinking about and then he met up with Bob. 
 
Sailing with him for a while the two became the best of friends, with Flax reaching the rank of First Mate through his dogged determination to ship, crew, captain, and sail. 
 
The pair travelled for a time, creating hyjinks and then they were out front of the swamp dungeon, a year seemingly gone from their lives. 
 
He's since crossed paths with the Red Kraken enough times to know he's bad news. Making his way back to Belmont with Bob and the Priest, Father Siciliano, they were beset by bandits. Father Siciliano talked one of them down and she joined the party. Flax took note of Violet's situation as she became a part of the crew of the Vengeance.
 
He sailed to Fort Worthy on a smuggling job, still trying to get his cloudy memory to come back to him. During the voyage he was visited by the enigmatic Fey Cat Sithe, Flax' mysterious patron. Cat gave Flax the job of finding two Rose Court Pixies somewhere in Fort Worthy.  
 
Flax participated with glee in he Fort Worthy Revolution, but maintained his principles of minimum casualties, saving some of the soldiers and later helping with fake ID's. 
 
Flax was confused by Hectors attitude of mercy towards John, insisting that the Boatmen push the advantage and finish him. Hectors reply made Flax consider his morals and how much he's changed from the boy in Hupperdook. 
 
The rebellion was followed by a terrible attempt to find the pixies, painting himself as a twisted sicko with dark desires in front of two people with good intentions to a Kitsune they were hiding in the back. 
 
This was then followed by an even worse stealth mission aboard the Red Kraken's ship. After tricking one of Severus Neros' men out of the captains quarters he discovered that the finer points of the Kraken's arrival was pre-planned, and that he may be using the revolution as a front for his own gain. 
 
After lighting a few fires and stealing a jacket Flax was sent flying by a gust of wind into the bay. The Boatmen barely escaped the mission, and Flax filled them in on what he had found. 
 
Now sailing to Aevus, Flax has agreed to teach Violet how to read, and is hoping to be there to help her as she becomes stronger on her path. He has most recently accepted the position of Master Gunner on the ship as well as First Mate.

Employment

Flax' early life involved him doing whatever he could to eek out a living; begging, and stealing primarily. He later found employment with the Kinsfolk. Acting as an enforcer and gang-banger for the heavy arm of the corporatized arms of Hupperdook. He's been a thief, thug, vandal, arsonist, blackmailer, bruiser, and worse under the guidance and sway of the Kinsfolk.
