 '''Former Affilliations:''' Cleric of [[Bobil]]</p>

+<p>Life in the city of [[Andarr]], the westernmost of the [[The_Seven_Cities|Seven Cities]], was good for the Dareau family. Their business was not one of the largest but the sheer volume of trade that flowed through the port meant even a tiny fraction of this was enough to be moderately wealthy. Jayem was almost certain to follow his father into the family business of acting as brokers between the southern states of Avlis and the [[The_Kurathene_Empire|Kurathene]] until this changed with the discovery of vile betrayal. </p>

+<p>For years the most trusted of their managers had been embezzling from the firm and lying to their customers. An entire web of lies had been woven and just as this was about to part the manager vanished, taking a large amount of gold with him and leaving binding contracts on the firm behind. These contracts had been signed with some very powerful people and they wanted what they had been promised, whatever the cost to the Dareau family. </p>

-<p>Jayem grew up as the son of a moderately wealthy merchant and was sure to follow his father into the family business until this business was lost through the betrayal of his father’s most trusted manager. Customers had been cheated and the manager vanished with as much gold as he could carry, which since he’d purchased magic bags was a lot. Jayem’s parents were left almost destitute, their home and all their belongings being seized to pay most of their debts and his father having to enter indentured service for five years to pay the rest. There was nothing for Jayem to do but leave and allow his parents to focus their efforts on his younger siblings while he made his own way in the world.</p>
