Character History Cheu was born as the only child to an mercenary and his wife. His parents being in their late forty's and already having given up on a child saw Cheu as a blessing from the gods.
With his father being a mercenary spending most of his time outside the city guarding caravans, Cheu grew up with his mother in a poor neighbourhood of Sunberth. Cheu remembers his childhood as mostly happy. His mother working with weaving on the side of raising Cheu gave them enough wealth to be able to always be feed and his father returning from work meant a small gift and exciting story's.
In winter 496 AV luck changed. Cheu's mother got ill and despite the healers help and medicine she passed away shortly after getting the disease. He was temporally taken care for by a neighbour housewife until his father arrived in the middle of spring 497 AV.
Crying and begging his father not to leave him in the care of the neighbour housewife, who had taken care of him and treated him badly compared to her own children, his father finally decided to take Cheu with him knowing that he would have to pass on his trade sooner or later.
The first few years after Cheu's mother passed away was hard both for Cheu and his father. Trying to do his best to train Cheu into a mercenary as well as doing his job put a lot of stress on Cheu's father. Luckily Cheu's father managed to join a stable group of older mercenaries who only took jobs guarding caravans on somewhat safe trade routes.
After a few seasons most of the old mercenaries had become fond of Cheu and viewed him as a mascot for the group, entertaining him with stories of past and helping out with his training, passing on some of their knowledge to Cheu.
As Cheu got older he got to help out more when it actually came to the few combat encounters. Instead of the order to run and hide he now got to stay in the background guarding the rear while the older men fought.
Despite the way the old mercenary's might look they were veteran fighters all still capable and working well as a unit. Many bandits who thought they had found a easy prey found themselves quickly outflanked and dominated in a fight by the old men.
Casualties did however occur and in 505 AV Cheu's father was hit by a arrow piercing his lung. Cheu's father managed to stay alive for a few days before finally passing on. Dealing with death was nothing new to Cheu, but losing his father was tough to deal with.
Cheu stayed with the group of mercenary's for a few more years now with the role of a fully grown fighter earning his full share of the payment received. Finally he decided he wanted to explore the world outside of the familiar routes and left the mercenary group in 511 AV. Cheu have been travelling ever since without a clear goal on what to do next.
