Aur is a half-nymph who made M'Chek his home after spending the early part of his life in Jechran and the Kurathene. Having studied the art of weapon mastery from Master Donan Hull, he is among the founding members of the Midnight Mercenary Company and a soldier in the M'Chekian elite Blackhawk Company.
Early Life
Aur began his civilized life with a Jechranian tribe. When the time came to move on, he wandered among the northern reaches of the Kurathene with a small band of mercenaries before taking a boat to Elysia.
Jechran Internment
Aur began his life in southern Jechran. He was taken in by a Jechranian tribe at a young age. With the Wastelands to the South and the mostly untamed forest to the North, he had little choice but to abide the female-dominated society. To this day, he has many choice words about how "the Dre'Ana wenches" kept males as little more than breeding stock.
While he did not enjoy the situation, Aur now accepts that his time in Jechran provided invaluable experience. Despite not being a prototypical woodsman, he learned from those in the tribe, language and survival skills chief among his lessons. When he felt he had learned enough, he slipped away, angling Northwest through the forests.
Northern Kurathene
Biting and clawing his way through Jechran and Galdos, Aur finally "settled" in the Northern part of the Kurathene Empire. With no money and few skills to speak of, he fell in with a band of mercenaries known as the Phoenix Brigade. As a unit, they were remarkably disorganized and, to this point, were best known for their near miraculous ability to reform after being repeatedly crushed in military conflicts. (Hence the Phoenix moniker)
As one could imagine, a force of this caliber did not have access to good equipment, and often fought with whatever was available. During a battle for one minor noble or another, Aur used a scythe 'acquired' from a dead comrade to fend off two armored opponents with devastating... luck. Even as such, he kept the weapon and continued to train with it, with the goal of, one day, being able to duplicate his success at will.
As Aur's weapon prowess grew, so did his peers' respect for him. Under the alias 'Jed Crowe,' he grew to some small amount of notoriety for forging the Phoenix Brigade into a force to be considered, if not reckoned with.
While work was plentiful with the struggles between the Kurathene and Tyedu, negotiating with uppity, minor nobles quickly lost it's appeal. Throughout his travels, Aur heard many tales about the riches of the Southern cities. When the opportunity presented itself, he took a job as a deckhand, and worked on the ship that would eventually take him to Elysia.
