Topal Broght

Early Life
Topal Broght was born into a Ravleoc family in the Kingdom of Crukkaenid, maturing physically faster than his mind was always an issue, causing much misuse of his magical talents. He heard of the many victories and successes of the rebels in Evraeca and in addition the successes of one Necromancer of an unknown name to Topal, leading him to decide to move to Evraeca in search of not only fame, but a way to further his magical talents.

Dauntless
One of Topal's various escapades was offered to him by a man from Ithuriston who claimed to be a dispossessed member of the Ithuriston nobility, a Duke to be precise, wielding a glimmering Starcraft blade as proof though he seemed reluctant to provide a name. The supposed nobleman proposed a heist; butchering the crew of an Icrithan vessel that had docked carrying wine and taking the ship to sail to his homeland. In return he offered Topal villages, one or two but no more than three, however Topal declined, content with the ship itself and a few crates of wine for payment.

They waited until nightfall and then began their heist. Topal initially hoped to use magic to cloud the mind of the ship's Captain and have the crew simply leave the vessel, however when the Captain appeared not to show he opted instead to attempt to dominate a member of the crew. The man's willpower proved to strong however and so a more direct approach was decided upon.

The 'nobleman' attacked head on Starcraft blade in hand while Topal kept his distance striking the foes with magecraft and harrying them in various animal forms. The numbers of the sailors proved too much however and the nobleman was overwhelmed, forcing Topal to flee, with some of the crew giving chase. Adopting an animal form he was able to get to the injured noble and drag him away, healing some of his wounds in anticipation of another attack on the few sailors left aboard the ship.

The second attack was more successful, with the mage and noble able to handle the sailors in separate groups. With the sailors dead or fleeing the ship was theirs, and apparently the local guards had turned a blind eye to their illegal activities. With the loot from the deceased Topal was able to hire a small but sufficient crew and was able to sail to Ithuriston in less than a week, surprisingly without hassle from pirates.
