| As a baby you were stolen from your parents by a band of jerks and raised in a dark and wild quarry. They regarded you as one of their own, but the time came for you to make your own name as a professional Thief. As luck would have it, as you were passing through the land of Nickelodeon, you stopped at the inn in the quiet hamlet of Hamlet, and heard the local barber talking about the ancient sewer that the town had (perhaps ill-advisedly) been built next to, and the fantastic Amber Idol of Goldthwait that was purported to be hidden there. Without bothering to ask why nobody had managed to recover it already, you set out on your very first quest. You were doing a great job until you got lost in a ruin -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet shiv +1 in a mind flayer's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some orphans into telling you where their boss's hideout was. Right before they stabbed you in the kidney. But, unwilling to let that keep you from glory, you gritted your teeth and wielded your brass knuckles, and cut your way through the hordes of skeletons that stood between you and your goal. At last you found the lair of Grim Overlord Frazool, who quite unexpectedly turned out to be your long-lost cousin, but you killed the wanker anyway. And thus was the land freed from tyranny, and you earned yourself a fat reward!
