Evan Latimer

Evan grew up the son of a Knight of the Iludin in Sistona. He learned early that proselytized morals are meaningless if not truly held in the heart. His father's beatings of both he and his mother proved that. He was in a sense relieved when his father was sent to man Fort Nivon in 835 AoVL with other underperforming knights. His mother was safe, but his father insisted on taking his five-year-old son with him, to show him his future as a knight.
His father was dishonorably discharged from the Order of Iludin in 837 AoVL amidst a huge scandal which involved knights at Fort Nivon breaking their vows and committing heinous crimes. Craig took his son and fled to the town of Hurstvik, where he intended to live out his days in ignominy. He kept a low profile, and his son took note, learning how to appear nonthreatening and move unseen. Craig never found steady employment, as he was a pariah to most and openly hated by some. He relied on Evan's thievery to keep them fed, even as he chastised his son for his actions and called him a disappointment. Evan always insisted he was merely following in his father's footsteps as he always wanted.
One night in 328 AoVL, Craig got in a drunken fit and threatened to beat Evan "like I beat that bitch you called mother". After introducing his father's whiskey bottle to his teeth (and smashing both), Evan left town, eventually meeting the bandits Captain Hatchet, Delana Harrington, and Mali Ojume. He joined their gang with enthusiasm, and quickly gained more influence than Mali, who held an obvious grudge.
