Torken Queb

<b;font-size:20px>"FLEE ye fool!" ~Algar Warscream

Torken Queb's tale starts in the Gyr Abanian mountains, north of Ala Mhigo in the rusticly picturesque Silvermist Glen. After the Cataclysm and the battle of Carteneau most of the country side was devastated and for the next few years survival was his main activity. Recently the Silvermist Glen has been occupied by the Galean Empire for an advanced outpost. Torken's people were either slaughtered or enslaved in one night of fire and blood.

Although Torken managed to escape and flee into the highlands making it into the Black Shroud and eventually to Gridania. Building on his skills with his name sake the Queb, a highland boar spear, he joined the Adventurer's and the Lancer's guilds. Until recently he fought for Gridania in order to hone his skills and pay back those who had taken him in. Claiming he needed to earn money so he could reach the sea, Torken suddenly announced one day he was setting out for Thanalan and the notorious city of Ul'dah. Going to sea was something he has often stated was something he would like to do. Upon reaching Ul'dah he hired himself out as a enforcer and mercenary.

Enemies

Torken has more than a few enemies.

• Galeans by the bushel. Especially one particular Officer who orchestrated the attack on his village.
• Ul'dah criminal factions he's butted heads with while in Renault's employ and several, if not most, of the law officers of Ul'dah.
• Roelle Ash is an anomaly. She tried to kill him then saved his life. Torken views her as an enemy while at the same time unnaturally attracted to her. It is she who put the ward over the curse mark on his chest. Something he's been trying to get removed, even dabbling in the black arts from certain unscrupulous Thaumaturgists in the Occulary.

History/Timeline

Entry 1: Ul'dah 23.1UM.1578.7UE

Ul'dah. City of riches and hope for many. City of woe and ruin for most. The tempting apple that it presents to the world is in fact riddled with vile worms feasting just under it's skin. But this apple is rotten almost to it's core and to survive here takes guile, cunning and strength of will. I am Torken Queb, a highland refugee, just one of countless others drawn to the hope Ul'dah offers. I've found the adventurer's guild, the Quicksand, is well named. I have been in Ul'dah for several weeks and it looks like I'm stuck here. Although things are looking up. I've managed to get hired by a local business man who appreciates my skills. I need gil, a lot of gil and I need it soon. My next payment's due date is fast approaching and the jackels want their pound of flesh.
