Rien Ayulidan

Rien Ayulidan

There must be something fishy going on. No way does someone like that have enough money to throw around for charity. If they'd simply investigate, I'm sure they'd figure it out.

Rien Ayulidan is a Skarhan philanthropist and former bandit based in Plumtris, Skarhu. Once a member of the Skarhan Scavengers, they have been uninvolved with crime since 414 AC, and founded Ayuli's Kitchen in 417.

History

Rien is the only child of a cleaner and her husband, raised in the outskirts of the city of Plumtris. Though their mother had regular employment under a local prominent businessman, their father was regularly in poor health, and the family struggled to make ends meet. Rien quickly turned to petty theft in their youth in order to eat, developing a knack for it and rarely being caught.   This skill caught the attention of a local gang, the Scavengers, who folded Rien into their ranks when they were a teenager. Setting them up with the alibi of employment at a local horse ranch, they soon specialised into highway robbery, as well as reliably carting stolen goods between Scavenger safehouses.   In 412, the majority of the Scavengers relocated across the ocean to Telziad to avoid sweeping legal crackdowns, but Rien remained in Plumtris for an additional year before following them abroad. Despite being a 'late arrival', they were relatively prolific in and around the Telziado capital of Sinofis, and established an alibi by working for local farmer Amali Tuana.   Though never identified by the Sinofis City Guard as a person of interest, Rien turned themself in to their custody in mid 414, confessing to a vast slate of robberies. This co-operation later earned them a position in the trial Criminal Rehabilitation Unit, through which they were involved in the rescue of Crown Larusion from assassination.   In thanks for their aid, Rien was given a royal pardon by the new monarch. They returned to their hometown soon after, working intermittently as a stablehand and farmhand until founding food charity Ayuli's Kitchen in 417. This is work to which they have devoted themself entirely, alongside their partner, former politician Yeilang Jomjitu Sooladang.
