Origin Story

Skilled in stealth and espionage. Darkman was born into poverty, and had to grow up being hungry and mistreated. As a teenager, he learned the skills thievery in order to be able to survive. Nothing is handed to you, you must take what you need. One day, he was in the middle of robbing a nobleman's carriage when he found himself surrounded by 4 guards. he quickly threw a dagger into the thigh of the nearest, and as the 2nd went to unsheath his sword, Darkman shoved it back into his sheath with his right hand, while jumping up and grabbing that guards face, then pushing the back of the guards head into the cobblestones, effectively rendering him unconscious. Darkman then retrieved a 2nd dagger, which he used to slice across the top of the next guards kneecap, making him fall to his knees, Darkman then kneed him in the face, saw a clear line of escape, and went to run away. It was at this point he felt the whip wrap around his neck as the top half of his body stopped, yet the lower continued trying to propel forward.  The Lord had Darkman in his grasps. Darkman knew this was death for him, so he drew his sword, cutting the whip and turning to face the noble. Darkman attacked with the ferocity of a lion, yet to no avail. Strike after strike he threw, yet all were cantered or parried. It was now that Darkman realized that this noble, powerful indeed, could have slain him 10 times over, yet has chosen not to.

For this lord needed a spy, someone that no one knew, a nobody, who was already skilled at blending into the background. And in the service of the nobleman, darkman became a master of espionage. Often sneaking into enemy camps to obtain privelaged information. After the death of the Lord in a great battle, Darkman proceeded to sell his services as a mercenary, taking jobs that made usage of his deliberate skillset, and occasionaly, bounties,... which he found to be rather prosperous in times of war, especially for someone who could get in and out as a ghost in the night. Eventually, Darkman became a Father. And even though by this time he had ammassed a relatively vast fortune, he found it pertinent to train his son in the ways of thievery and espionage. This is where we find Darkman today, in the process of teaching his son the ways of the darkness,...
