| Life was hard as an orphan on the streets of Dumpington, without a father or mom to teach you right from wrong. On the other hand, you wouldn't have grown up to be such a talented Thief otherwise. Your life changed one day, changed irrevocably -- and perhaps not for the better -- when you were wandering down the quaint bucolic dusty paths of the tiny farming village of Frog. There, you met the Sultan's red-headed stepchild, who gave you broad hints as to the last known location of the long-lost Azure Chicken. Recognizing the street value of such a rare treasure, you set off to find it. You weren't having any problems until you had to fend off half a dozen badgers with your foot trapped in a cheese-grater. Fortunately, most of them ran away when the bugbear showed up, and you played dead until it left. That's not very heroic, but hey, it worked. However, you knew you'd never be a mighty adventurer if you let a little setback like that stop you, and damned if you were going to end up a blacksmith in some crummy backwater like Malph or Foobar. So you pressed onward until you discovered the lair of the Shadow Lord Arc'klor, and after a long and dramatic battle you successfully put an end to his evil ways. And then you looted the hell out of his hideout.
