Personal history
Aldous was a Tabaxi from the town of Kogiz located on the northern tip of the Beastmen Islands. In his adolescent years, he found an ancient magical artifact that created a pact between him and the Blue Dragon. Through the Dragon’s intervention, Tabaxi joined a group of sailors and aligned himself with the Agrammon International Investigation Agency during their investigation of Ezreal Iantris in the Republic of Phabe.
Aldous was born in Kogiz — a fishing town made up predominately of Tabaxi that rested at the upper tip of the Beastman Islands. Much like his brothers and sisters, Aldous spent most of his youth perfecting the art of fishing and learning how to make the most of the resources provided from the ocean’s bounty. With a hearty thirst for knowledge, Aldous would often accompany the elder members of the community during trades with the other Beast Tribes throughout the islands.
During these trade meetings, Aldous would regularly observe the belongings of other Beast Tribes. He would often abruptly approach strangers, asking them about their possessions, how they were made, or where they were acquired. This was typically met with nothing less than irritation, but a few of the older members of each tribe found Aldous’s inquisitive nature endearing.
In 1495, Aldous was fishing along the shore of Kogiz when his hook latched onto something unusual. Reeling the line in revealed a humanoid-sized necklace made up of teeth that Aldous could not identify, but he was enraptured by the beauty of it. He immediately placed it around his neck and would keep it on at all hours of the day.
It was several weeks after this event that Aldous began to hear faint whispers from no discernible origin. As days passed, the whispers became a more distinct voice that spoke a language unknown to him. With the voice more prominent, Aldous found himself drawn to various areas throughout the island that seemed to hold no significant value but resonating with some type of aura foreign to the Tabaxi.
Months passed undergoing this phenomenon — Aldous would spend the mornings fishing for his village and the evenings digging through unexplored caves and mountain ranges throughout the island, drawn to some type of power he could not explain.
A vicious storm forced a ship from the Merchant’s Confederacy off course while resulted in an unplanned landing near Kogiz. The crew of Half-Elves and Humans made cautious contact with the Tabaxi tribe. Aldous took an immediate interest in the group and actively worked to communicate with them, using gestures and basic words in the Beastmen’s tongue to help understood the sailors’ plight.
It took several weeks of partnership and repair work, but Aldous — along with members of the Tabaxi tribe — were able to bring the ship back to working order. As the sailors prepared to depart, Aldous felt his usual compulsion to investigate something. With the blessing of the Tabaxi tribe, Aldous accompanied the crew who were en route to Silverhand Expedition to deliver supplies for the upcoming construction of the Dwarven City of Agrammon.
