Personal history

Faustus spent most of his life either on a ship or on various islands, he never knew his real parents, the captain who raised him always said he found him in a shipwreck as an infant. He was named for his "good luck" in surviving when everyone else on the ship had died. Occasionally he would learn things from the passengers, which is where he learned of magic and why he should expand his understanding of the world, while on the ship and learned a thing or two about disease, bad with wounds though. He continued help on the ship in his adult years, until the war started. When he saw people suffer under the armies of the Dirty King he fought as mercenary and made a name for himself. He captured a ship named the Golden Ram and had a crew 50 great warriors that he trusted. In a bloody battle he and his crew captured. He watch his entire crew get hung in front of him and then it was his turn, he swore vengeance upon the beings who caused there death, he doesn't remember who or what they were.
