Xyzal is a down on his luck stand up comedian. After having a taste of the good life he does not want to go back to squalor.

Xyzal grew up on the streets and learned how to hide and steal. Soon his wits grew as sharp as his blades. His small stature required he survive in other ways than with strength.
 
Soon Xyzal's sharp tongue got him noticed. A lord overheard Xyzal roasting his friends in an inn and offered him a job as a Court Jester.
 
For the first time in his life his belly was full and his clothes were clean. Xyzal loved his role in court. He got to do what he loved. Make people laugh and speak the truth. Soon though his wit would get the better of him.
 
While hosting an ally's party, Xyzal accidently cast Vicious Mockery against the guest noble. This “attack” was considered an affront to the visiting noble. His men beat Xyzal savagely and demanded Xyzal's patron fire him.
 
Xyzal found himself back on the streets, with a chip on his shoulder and a lot of new material.
