## Introduction

Tu is the assassin of The Missing Marks an expert in creating disguises to get

## History

### Birth and Childhood

Tu was born to a litter of eight goblins however Tu and Fyv's mother did not care for this litter. Instead of giving them names she simply numbered them in the order they were born. However due to her poor spelling and lack of ability in common these names look strange to a literate in common. The children were named Wun, Tu, Free, For, Fyv, Cx, 7 and Ate. 7's name was too complicated for the mother to spell so she didn't bother. To Tu and Fyv's knowledge they are the last left alive of the litter. They have very few memories of their siblings or mother and don't even know if there mother died or abandoned them. All they do remember is that they had to look after themselves from a very young age. Being the Older brother this is something Tu bore the brunt of on his shoulders during their childhood always ensuring that his little sister was fed and warm often suffering to achieve this at best or failing to achieve this at worst. The days things would get better was the day Tu joined The Fangs, an upcoming gang in the Wellfarden underworld.

### The Fangs: Rising the Ranks

The day Tu met Rika was the day everything changed. Tu hadn't been able to feed Fyv for 3 days and hadn't eaten himself for 2 more. He needed to find some food and it needed to be today. He looked around the market and landed on a stall. A Large Landoran man was selling bread freshly made that morning. It would be perfect if he could get his hands on it. From behind him a voice sounded. "Best to run in twos you know, One distract one pilfer." He turned around and standing behind him was a halfling girl. "I'll cause a scene you nick one fore me" she said and was off before he could even respond. 30 seconds later there was a crash. Everything had tumbled over each other and it was a minute before he realized she had tipped over a stall and legged it. In the ensuing chaos he slipped out and had swiped 4 loaves of bread before anyone had a chance to notice him. He ran and ducked into an alleyway and while catching his breath from above simply heard "Boo!". She was hanging from a rope attached to the roof of the building. In that moment Tu noticed her bright eyes. She was pretty plain looking but her eyes let him into her world of adventure. He wanted a part of that. "Rika's the name, I run the Fangs down in the docks, I've been looking for someone new wanna try out?" and his words changed with a simple word. "Sure". After that it wasn't long until Tu was a full member of the gang. The Fangs worked for one of the larger Gangs who worked for a crime lord, The deal was simple, 20% of all scores for protection and jobs. That was life as one of the Lesser gangs. Tu built his skills, Honed his blades, Scrapped, Stole and Smuggled with the best. He took many jobs with the Fangs and after sometime learnt his routes using the "Toll Doors" owned by the Crimelord he served. After a while he even inducted Fyv into the gang as an honorary member after she had showed Rika the "High Road" she had been working on. Several years passed and these were the best of days but like any good time tragedy had to strike. One morning he received the news from his fellow gang members. The First step to becoming the numb assassin his is now. Rika had left the Fangs to join an Adventuring party leaving Tu with nothing but a note. Tu saw this as a true betrayal. If Rika could leave the gang any of them could. None of them were loyal only Fyv. But he couldn't leave now. Rika's note had left him in charge of the gang. So he would use them for now, but the only person he could trust was himself and Fyv and he would make it so they didn't have to count on anyone else. He would become an independent agent.

### The Fangs: Fall into Darkness

It wasn't over night but over the next few years the Fangs turned from a local street gang pilfering from markets

picking up the odd score, smuggling stolen goods across the city to a group of violent thugs not afraid to harm of kill those who they robbed. Tu's influence on this change was paramount. Over the years many original members of the gang left, often only to go missing soon after. Others soon changed their tunes fitting into The new people he hired were not the happy go lucky thieves that made the original fangs a fun gang of friends, instead they were hardened thugs who were happy to rob, beat and kill to get their way. After a while this caught the notice of the local crime lord Ellia Blackfoot. Ellia was a halfling known to be as savage as she was beautiful. Called to visit her in her hideout Tu was unaware if he was to be killed or promoted. It turned out it was neither for now. Ellia had become aware of the Fangs losing control a little becoming violent at the wrong times with the wrong people and a rouge street gang could damage her credit amoung the other crimelords of Wellfarden.

Ellia intended to give Tu the command to get his shit together or face her wrath. Tu however, walked straight up to her and said I will kill them all if you make me your personal assassin. Taken aback Ellia considered this and knowing what she knew came up with a plan. She gave Tu the ultimatum. I need a city investigator killed, Do that and make sure it send a message. Kill his wife and children as well. If you succeed you can wipe out every member of your gang. If you can do both, I will take you up on that. Tu got to work. He quickly found the guards home and waited untill night. Dispatching the man and his wife was no difficulty but the daughter who must've been no older than six woke up too early and caught him. He had no time to think. He chased her down and plunged his knife into her, The darkness in his heart swelling to absorb anything left of the young Tu looking out desperate for food to feed his sister. It took her too long to die and the noises she made burrowed into his ears and now whenever its quiet he hears her squealing in pain like a pig in the market being butchered. He fled before someone who would have heard her could show up and headed back to his gang. A tough battle ensued as he plunged his knife into each and every member of his corrupted band of thug, letting him purge every positive memory the fangs gave him over the years before Rika had abandoned him. With several scratches and bruises and a rather severe gash across his chest he returned to Ellia with the job done and agreed he could run as an independent with his sister but would perform any job asked of him for a retainer. Ellia impressed agreed.

### A Job Gone Wrong

After years of serving Ellia faithfully and racking up a bodycount to earn him a legendary status amoung her crew Tu was making more money from his and his sisters private scores than working for Ellia but he was unsure how to get out of his contract with Ellia. If only he could make enough from one big score to get him and Fyv away. Luckily this walked into the bar he was drinking in swaggering with three servants. Markarth Landfaller was a rich merchant making money off the war. His presence in the city made many uncomfortable as if he was selling weapons here in Wellfarden there was a good chance the war would come here sooner or later. He was known to be clever at protecting his wealth but If Tu wanted out Markarth was his route to it. He stalked Markarth back to where he was staying and then rushed to his apartment to tell Fyv of the score they would be making tonight.

Upon doing the job it was easy for the two goblins to enter. Tu used on of his servants disguise to walk straight passed the guards into the large house and Fyv was able to find a wall to climb and easily made it to the second floor while everyone was asleep. Tu was able to overhear some of the guards talking about some adventurers Markarth had hired to guard him and after quickly and quietly dispatching the guards that were in his way he made it up to the second floor to meet Fyv. He warned her of the danger and they made their way around the house stopping when the found a room with two Mercenary adventurers standing outside. Amongst their muttering of only taking this guard duty job cause they needed money for their next expedition to the Northern Continent Tu was able to sneak up behind them and slit their throats before either were able to notice. Fyv got to work picking the door and soon enough they were in. In the room the fat man slept oblivious of the Goblin presence in his room. A large trunk sat at the end of the bed and Fyv examined, removed and unlocked all the safety measures he had put in place in the time it took Tu cut the mans throat. They nabbed the large amount of Gold and promissory notes the man had stuffed in his trunk and they were off. Just as they left room however, Fyv called out in pain. As Tu turned to look he saw an arrow sticking out of Fyvs foot pinning her in place. Tu quickly turned in time to doge an arrow meant for him but as he looked up a cold chill ran down his spine. At the other end of the bow stood Rika and next two her a large Half Orc wielding an enormous club. "I Know what you did to the Fangs" She called. "I wish i could be angry with you, but instead I am disappointed". The half orc charged but before Tu could react he heard Fyv cry out. Two others had snuck up behind him and were now carrying Fyv off and before he knew it a large club pounded down on his head, knocking him out.

### Welcome to Hell

Tu and Fyv woke up in a jail cell and they immediately knew where they were. They were in Wellfarden prison which attached to the neighborhood they had grown up in all those years ago when Tu was scrounging for bread and scraps. A Year of hell would befall them. A Year of being the guards personal kicking posts. Tu always fought back and after a while the beatings became lesser but this was no comfort. One night the guards came down as usual only this time instead of beating them they were dragged upstairs and thrown at the feet of man hooded and cloaked. You could only see his white pupil less eyes surrounded by the purple skin. "You work for me now. I have arranged it with Ellia...Do you understand?". The question did not need an answer. They marched out of there like kings next to this man and Tu realized that this... Fish, held more power than he could ever dream of.

### Infiltrators Career

Fish quickly inducted both Tu and Fyv into the Infiltrators guild and told them they were the First of a Cell he was looking to manage himself. It took some time until this cell was formed and during this time Tu was concerned that his skills were not being taken seriously as he and Fyv were running small time jobs of kidnappings and other such low level work. But it wasn't long until Halfar made an appearance then Lela and Ramona and suddenly they were summoned again to meet Fish who explained the work he intends them to do will be of the highest level. It took some time but after several mission the Cell warmed up to each other and soon after that learned to trust each other. Since then the have been thick as thieves...Literally in most cases. Fish gave them their name of the Missing Masks and it would be underpinning their work to say that their missions have had an effect on the war and land as a whole.While it took some time Tu has forged a close relationship with Halfar. As they are both infiltrators using disguises or in Halfars case theft of someones persona to enter places meant they would work together during missions. Tu and Fyv obviously also share a complex but close relationship.
