Origins
Born to an unknown mother somewhere within Nekhet, Toan was quickly left behind on somebody else's doorstep not long after birth. Being an unwanted child on some stranger's doorstep, he was taken to an orphanage where he would grow up alone immediately afterwards. There he grew up as a lonely child with no real knowledge of his origins, his birthright as well as parents all but a sole mystery to the child. Eventually the child grew resentful of the fact he'd been left alone, unwanted by those that brought him into this very world.
As he grew older a stranger visiting Nekhet came to discover Toan, purchasing him for adoption with the intent to take him back to his own homeland. This seemed like a kind gesture at first, but in truth led to Toan being forced into slavery for the man that supposedly 'saved' him. It was there Toan first decided to stick out only for himself, and make a break for it on his own within the city of Etzos; where he quickly learned just how cruel the world could really be.
Childhood
Ever since birth Toan had only known life at the orphanage, which was never an easy thing to deal with growing up. Some of the other children were always mean, and things were always difficult when it came to the lectures of the caretakers. No. The young boy who grew up being naive only ever wanted one thing, and that was to experience what every other child there missed. It was the familial bonds that tied people together, the chance at being able to have parents when you were utterly alone. However it was apparent that hardly anybody wished to raise an orphan, and the older kids there surely made it clear no one wanted someone like Toan.
Yet eventually there came a visitor from a foreign land, curious about the children in his visit to the orphanage. When he had heard Toan's story with how he was abandoned at birth, it clearly had enough impact to give the man cause for adoption. Thus when it was time to leave behind the life at the orphanage, Toan felt a sense of joy that shortly died once they were gone. Aserilin who was the man which adopted Toan no longer appeared so nice and friendly, but instead possessive and demanding of the boy. Toan had no idea what this meant in the future to come, but on that particular try he soon wished he never left Nekhet.
This man, known as Aserilin, grew impatient with the child he'd brought back to his home, and shortly after their arrival became abusive towards Toan as a result of the boy's ignorance. The abuse remained only physical at first but that in turn played it's part, both mentally and emotionally abusing the child as he grew under the harsh care of Aserilin. It would be long then of course that the abuse would become more severe, more than just physically and mentally harming the boy who was only innocent. It was from that point on that the psychological torture the boy suffered would stem from such abuse, and he would quickly grow into a fearful and spiteful child against the world.
Adolescence
Aserilin grew impatient with the child he'd brought home and over the Arcs, his naivety something that remained short-lived shortly after staying in Etzos. Over the course of his stay, Toan had to live with the abusive torment the man brought on the young boy. Such behaviors weren't things one so young would never be ready for, however Toan was nothing more than property to the man who 'saved' him from the orphanage. Toan grew to resent this of course, seeking refuge elsewhere in the city of Etzos. Stealing food and scurrying about for as long as he could manage, the growing boy slowly developed a sense of independence on the streets of the city. However he would also be caught often, and there were some in the Etzori Guard who were just like Aserilin.
However it wasn't always so difficult for the poor boy. In one of his attempts at stealing the man in question noticed, and rather than have him punished he instead questioned the boy. The man in question, who was named Dallen, happened to be an type of businessman who lived in the city's underbelly. He was a smuggler and a purveyor of information, with an uncanny sense of justice for those who were in Toan's very situation. Thus with a promise to work as one of his underlings, Toan found that eventually those guards which also tormented him started to disappear. Eventually as he continued to work under Dallen, only one stood to be the residual testament of the boy; the one who had brought him to Etzos in the first place.
However Dallen never went to the lengths to orchestrate the same demise, but rather made it clear that it would fall up to Toan to one Trial to decide. Until then he was a welcome asset to the smuggler, and thus Toan remained a watchful listener just like the many other orphans of Etzos.
Transition
Gradually as he came more and more self reliant, Toan developed a similar sense of business from Dallen. Overtime he grew to appreciate the smuggler and his cause, but a subtle thought always lingered when it came to the growing thief. Though he would never know who his parents, his real parents, truly were there would come a day when they would. Everyone would in fact.
For he would become a monumentally renown individual, one that would become revered all across Idalos. Not as the hero or villain most would find in their tale, but as one of the most dastardly thieves of the world. Of course such ideas of grandeur weren't far fetched for him, but Toan grew attached to it regardless of his current reality. In that time Dallen decided he was ready to explore the underside of Etzos a bit more, and in turn allow the thief a chance to grow on the business side as well. However when Toan was introduced to drugs it had been far too soon, as the state of high he felt from his first time proved far too addictive to resist.
Thus while his venture as a smuggler in Etzos' underground grew profitable, much of that profit could hardly last when it came to exploring the new world he'd discovered. In short the thief gradually lost his own way and struggled often to find it again, the spark for that hopeful dream just about lost until he learned how to curb his addiction.
Adulthood
As he reached the point of his life where he could afford his own house, one thing always remained a pressing matter for Toan. Aserilin still lived and hardly ever interacted with him, more than likely because the man had no interest in the thief. While that could've been a much bigger relief, there was no doubt he sought another to fill Toan's shoes. Not only did this disturb Toan the most, but the residual spite and hatred lingered within him. Thus the thief who sought infamy grew to address this issue, knowing that in time he would have to come to deal with Aserilin. However the man had disappeared before the opportunity arose, leaving Toan to speculate he'd left Etzos already.
Only one question remained however, after Aserilin was found would Toan be able to kill him?
