Personal history

A nonchalant Sorcerer with a plucky attitude. Trained by his father, Dranor, who used magic to steal from the wealthy and raised him to do the same. Living in the lowlife neighbourhood of the great city Capital City. He had to search for scraps each day. Using basic magic to entertain people, while his father stole or vice versa.   His mother, Kira died while giving birth to him. This granted him his innate magical ability. When his father got caught by the authorities, Mordekai sacrificed himself to go to prison in his stead. Facing the penalty of death he stayed a couple of months in the most impenetrable prison of Capital City. In there he met a halfling thief called Pim. Together they devised a plan to get out. With the help of the Human Barbarian Bruno, Pim’s thievery and Mordekai’s magical prowess they managed to escape. Bruno got shot by four bolts. Mordekai and Pim had to leave him behind as the guards ambushed him.   Mordekai told Pim he should join his father’s guild, but when they arrived at the guild house, there were bodies everywhere. His father was nowhere to be seen, not even among the bodies. Mordekai now eager to search for his father, asked Pim to join him in his search. The Halfling rejected the offer deciding to go to Novostad, the second largest city of the continent. There he would make his wealth and his new life. But if Mordekai needed his help anytime he was always welcome. The two friends parted ways, each going on different adventures.   For years Mordekai traveled trying to find his father. He went from town to town, city to city, but no clue of his father was to be found. He took mercenary jobs, stole artefacts or killed bandits when needed. During one of those jobs he met Katherine, a fair human wizard. Her arcane wisdom and her natural ability to create portals made her one of the most desired Wizards among rich tradesmen and nobles. They became a duo, taking on jobs together. He got her into thieving.   One day, they got the task, given to them by the Dragonborn Malazar, to steal an artificial called The Wand from a Druid named Falknar. This Druid was feared among villages, turning the forest and creatures in it evil, giving the forest the nickname: The Devil’s Wood. Katherine used a portal to get her and Mordekai to sneak into the Druid’s lair. Falknar was expecting them and used his natural abilities to bring the fight to them. Wolves attacked and tree roots erupted from the ground. The fight continued for quite some time but The Druid was too strong. Roots were crawling around Katherine’s body and she got stuck. She used her last powers to open a quick portal for Mordekai to escape.   Mordekai’s arm however got caught by a tree root when he was halfway out of the portal. Looking at each other Katherine shouted Mordekai to be better in life and to use his full potential. She closed the portal which cut of Mordekai’s left arm. He fell from a cliff as the portal teleportation was a random location and landed in snow. He got saved by an elf called Anor. He was taken care of at his hut. Using magic to give him an arm, which in return requires constant concentration, resulting in him having a disadvantage at magic when he uses the Magic arm.
