Allen was born in a small fishing village to Enoch and Saro Burnquist. He spent much of his early years on the water, swimming and sailing, never really receiving a formal education, but becoming an adept swimmer and climber at a very young age.

In his teenage years, he was a skilled sportsman and hunter, but when war broke out, he was conscripted into the military at the age of 16. He served in the military for 4 years and saw little combat, though he did fight in one notable battle, in which he was wounded and his squadmates were killed.

He returned home after receiving a medical discharge, only to find his town had been consumed by the war. While the town still stood, many had died in raids from the opposing army, and his parents had either died or had vanished without a trace. Allen never discovered which.

All that remained of his home was a damaged and looted house, and his father's fishing boat which had been hidden.

Allen attempted to work as a fisherman as he had done in his childhood, as well as attempt to rebuild his town, but after four long years, and for no particular reason, Allen boarded his father's boat and sailed out to the ocean in search of adventure.

Since then, Allen has travelled the word with one goal: Have a good fucking time.

In his early 20s, Allen worked as a mercenary as it provided good pay, as well as it being a good opportunity for adventure.

early years of Mercenary life

Allen proved to be a talented Mercenary, and in his twenties he already had the respect of several notable clients. He traveled up and down the coast working, trying to save up for a new boat. In this time he gained a rival by the name of Dante Blaggzharre, who he competed with for contracts and the attention of the local women who hung around the mercenaries. Allen and Dante clashed regularly, but neither ever managed to gain a clear upper hand. Forever the narcissist, Allen seeing Dante as his equal is a massive compliment. The two of them had a shaky friendship based on mutual respect, though they would routinely have falling outs and try to kill each other.

Bounty Hunting

by his mid twenties, Merc work wasn't sating Allen's thrill seeking appetite, so he turned to the more dangerous but more lucrative Bounty Hunting. He spent most of his time picking off rogue privateers that spent time in the coast

Mary-Beth

During his initial escapades as a bounty hunter, Allen at some point romanced a woman by the name of Mary-Beth, and unbeknownst to him, concieved a child with her. He would leave after a week in the town, and then wouldn't see her again for a very long time

Priscilla

Contrary to popular belief, Allen did have several romantic partners through his adventures, including being involved in a scandal with a betrothed duchess, causing an entire political alliance to disintegrate after the two of them were caught on her wedding night. However, only one woman ever caught Allen's full attention, and that was Priscilla. He encountered her after she hijacked his boat with him asleep inside of it, and the two were captured by the navy. Allen and Priscilla managed to escape the navy, but not before Allen learned that she was the wife of a local pirate warlord. Allen strongly suggested that she should return to him, but Priscilla refused, and the two of them took refuge on a small island.

Allen and Priscilla held out on the island for a few months, and then Allen resumed his Bounty Hunter work with Priscilla's help. This went on for the better part of two years until the warlord finally caught up with them and Allen was captured and brutally tortured for what he had done. Priscilla found him and freed him, but as they tried to escape, Allen's wounds slowed them down and the Pirate caught up to them and shot Priscilla right in front of Allen. Allen fought with the warlord and managed to kill him, and he buried Priscilla in a nearby town and took the warlord's ship.

Allen was now nearly 30 at this time, and he spent long stretches of time locked inside his house on the little island he had stayed on with Priscilla. Though he took a job here and there, he did not resume his adventuring for a good long while.

Sea Witch

Allen eventually stopped moping and resumed his mercenary work, and around the age of 33-35, he encountered the Sea Witch, and travelled with them.

Roger Burnquist

at some point, likely closer to his 40th birthday, Allen received word from Mary-Beth, who said that she had bore his child and the child now wanted to meet him. Allen travelled to the town and met his teenage son, Roger. They initially got along, but once Allen indicated he intended to leave again, Allen and Roger got into a heated argument, and Roger threw a knife at Allen, slicing off a small bit of his right ear. Roger told Allen to stay away from him and his mother for good, and Allen obliged, leaving town in the middle of the night.
