## Life

### Early Life

Born in Gaverton and lived there until the family moved to Wescreag in the year 289AU after Priam was offered a position as a retainer for a noble lord.

To celebrate the move his father bought him a book on the city of Wescreag from the Historian's Guild.

One day his father dissapeared and when he returned he spoke of strange things he found in the city (secret tunnels that led to ancient places?) around 294AU. These stories were brushed off by everyone as nonsense, ramblings, etc.. However for the young Hector it became a great source of inspiration and obsession.

Priam became obsessed with what he allegedly found, but the dismissal by everyone around him soon led to a deterioration of his mental-health and escapism into alcohol and other substance abuse.

In the year 297AU word came that Priam had died. Suddenly, mysteriously. His body never found.

Hector refused to believe that Priam had died and would often scour the city looking for clues; trespassing and breaking into places he shouldn't be. One unfortunate night his escapades got him almost caught by the guards, he tried to escape by climbing through the window and along the outside of a multi-storied building. He slipped and tumbled down to the ground, successfully evading the guards but severely injuring his leg. After his near-death experience he limped home victoriously; receiving a hearty scolding upon arrival. His leg never healed properly.

After this his mother and Blake decided something needed to be done to put him back on the right path.

Blake called in a favour.

Gabriel Quin came to visit and spoke to Hector about the Empirical Brotherhood.

Hector was enamored by Quin and joined up.

### At the Academy

It was hard at first for Hector to fit in at the academy, as it housed the world's best and brightest minds, many of them scions from the great houses. But with the guidance of Master Quin he learned to adapt quickly. He overheard one of his classmates, a very charismatic young man - one that had caught his eye on many occassions before, express their disdain for one of their teachers, a wretched and miserly old man who hath the habit of droning on and on. At that time Hector decided that no matter the cost, he would impress his peer and earn his admiration! And so he began to formulate a plan and set to work on it over the next few weeks.

he constructed a paintbomb.

Approached the noble youth about his plan.

Together they broke into the classroom.

But while setting up the device, accidently triggered it: covering not only the entirety of the classroom, but also themselves into a lovely new shade of pink. The youth errupted into laughter, before quickly escaping the scene of their crime.

They escaped to one of their dorms and spent the night scrubbing each other clean and getting to know eachother. On that night Hector became close friends with Lewis of House Anvear and Willow of House Adlewin.

Over the years the trio continued to bond over their mischievous antics. Some more successful than others.

### To Havenburg

After many years of college, went on to Havenburg to find more info on Wescreag at the Historians Guild.

During an attempt to infiltrate the Historian's Guild their archives, was led into a trap by a Maester of the guild, this is where he met with Devon and Wyrm who were similarly drawn into this ploy. Together they killed the Master and escaped the trap, doing their best to leave no evidence behind.

The trio joined forces due to their shared interest in obtaining access to the Historian's vault.

A job went wrong and led them into the debt/employment of Mr. Barton.

### Havenburg Chapter 1

**2nd Kweturday, 3rd cycle year 308.**

12/3 308AU - Snowflake's birthday party.

Met up with June again after many months, found out she was pregnant. Promised to meet with her on dekaday.

Found a clue to a potential heist target, someone from Party House (Historian Guild Office in the Blue Ward) has dealings with the Bruiser Brothers' gang in the Lathir district. We gave the info to Mr. Barton, he was gonna have the info checked.
