Biography
1552-1568
Childhood
- Masashi was born on a tiny, unimportant island near La Noscea, a town so small most maps and sea charts either didn't see the need or simply didn't bother marking it down. Silversand Isle was idyllic and peaceful. Sadly peace never lasts.
- Masashi remembers little of the event, being woken in the night and being rushed to a nearby cave with the rest of the village, he'd been told they were riding out a particularly nasty storm. A storm his father was stuck in out at sea.
- It wasn't until later in life that Masashi learned that the 'storm' was no act of nature but of the primal leviathan and it was then that he learned of the heroes that put a stop to it.
- Masashi found a new father figure in Captain and Tradesman 'Captain Crashing Seahawk'. The kind hearted Roegadyn offered to help Masashi learn, teaching him his letters, basic science and maths, things that Silversand Isle did not often teach their children.
Teenage
- The peace was not to last. In 1555 the family was thrown into disarray when Nichiel's second child was stillborn. Unable to pull Nichiel from his grief, Ban took to looking after Deirdre. In the following years, Nichiel began to groom Ban for the day he would eventually take over the business. This involved learning tricks of the trade and meeting with Nichiel's own trading partners. It was during this time that the young Ban met a Highlander named Cade, the son of a merchant Nichiel often dealt with. The two grew closer but the Highlander became even closer to Deirdre. Although Ban greatly disapproved of this budding relationship and had no problems of voicing his opinions, he did not actively interfere or try to keep them apart.
- Ban and Deirdre had already become distant and in 1558 their relationship was strained even more as Ban took a more involved interest in his work, frequently taking week long trips to other cities and villages to sell his own wares, gaining gil and a reputation as a swordsmith. The last time Ban saw his family alive was in the winter of 1561, after being gone a month he returned to find the village burnt to the ground. Nichiel was amongst the dead but Deirdre and her mother were missing.
1561 - 1577
- Fueled by desperation Bancroft began to search for the whereabouts of his missing sister. The trail led him to a large city that was a few days away, much to his dismay the trail soon turned cold. Ban reluctantly remained in the city as he searched high and low for Deirdre. It was not until a few months of endless searching did Ban finally begin to lose hope. He packed what little he had and left the city to continue his search through the Garlean Empire.
- During his travels, Ban often took any job he may find in exchange for food and a place to sleep. He found himself repairing weapons, farming equipment, and doing any heavy lifting that was in demand; he was not above declining the few times when someone invited him into their bed either. It was a place to sleep and he was always gone by morning, never lingering for more than a month in any one place.
1577 - Present
