Personal history

Chester Maveriko, the last of the Maveriko clan. He was born and raised in Califas amongst the swaths of organized crime. His father, Murdock Maveriko was the head of the family and leader of the Maveriko Mafia. Murdock spent many years pouring his blood, sweat, and tears (mostly blood) building his empire while staying under Mukar's radar. Chester's older sister Rebecca Maveriko was raised by Murdock to be his inheritor, as well as the protector of her little brother. Chester was raised more so by his mother Celestina. While Rebecca was raised by Murdock to be strong and quite witted enough to stand her ground in a brawl and at the table. Celestina spent much of her time trying to instill Chester with a sense of empathy and curiosity. She hoped that given a safe environment to grow with the protection from her husband and Chester's big sister, he might have a chance at growing up kind enough and smart enough to break the cycle of violence in the gang wars that burned through the streets of Califas.
Every member of the Maveriko family gets a pin as proof of membership and as a quick introduction to who they are. Each pin has a base template of a hand reaching down and grasping another below to pull them up. Being the head of the family Murdock is the only member to have a pin with only one hand, raised in a fist and covered in barbed wire that pierces the skin to show his defiance to those who would control him. His hand is always seen as the top hand pulling other up in every other pin. In Celestina's pin the barbed wire that wraps around Murdock's changes into musical bars and notes as is crosses sides. In Rebecca's pin the barbed wire remains and pierces her own arm as it does her fathers as it crosses over. Chester's meanwhile changes into budding vines that flower near the edges of the pin, his has a very faint glow to it that's light is similar to sunlight.
Chester however lost his family when his father was betrayed while attempting to make a peace treaty between the Maverikos and the "Black Hand", a rival gang entirely made up of tieflings. After Murdock was left tied to a chair in a burning building it was open season on the Maverikos. Chester and his sister took off into hiding but it only took 3 years for the Black Hand to find them again. Rebecca ordered Chester to run as she held them off using Murdock's adamantine bat, the "Family Business". When Chester returned all he found was blood on the ground and walls, no sign of a body. Chester could only assume she was killed and likely taken somewhere for the body to be disposed of, another member erased from existence. Chester was left to fend for himself, growing up paranoid and wary of anyone who might try to get close to him. He managed to acquire a gun (outside of legal means) and named himself a bounty hunter for hire. "Nice people get trampled here. If you wanna live, you gotta play their game, and play it better." A quote from his father that Chester has never forgotten.

To work on his confidence he tried to debate against and egg for 4 hours while in his "room" in the sewers after the "Farside docks incident".
