 History 

Childhood

Wellington was born on Corazon Island west of Ganymere. He grew up by the coast, in the small fishing village Palmwell with his father Iluron, a simple fisherman who would go away on long trips for months at a time. Wellington never knew what he was doing on these trips but his father always came back with his purse full and looking exhausted. As a child, Wellington would explore and play games with his two younger brothers, Alorin and Vikben, who he got along with well most of the time.

Once when exploring with his brothers east of town, they came across a group of people burying some treasure deep in a coastal forest. They waited until the group of roughed up looking people left and dug up the chest themselves. They found it was filled with riches beyond their wildest dreams, more gems and gold that they had ever seen in their lives. Wellington decided to keep a rapier that was near the bottom of the chest. Once their father returned, they were delighted to tell him the news. Iluron was forced to explain that he wasn't a fisherman, he was a pirate, and what they did was going to get them killed as he was in a rival guild to these pirates. They returned the treasure, but Wellington hid the rapier under his bed, he was scared that they would come and wanted to protect himself. That night, he heard them break in, and was shaking in fear under his covers, unable to move. He stayed awake the whole night, and in the morning, found his father dead with a warning note pinned to his chest with a dagger. That night, Wellington and his brothers swore to avenge their father's death. Him and his brothers were bounced between foster homes, unable to shake their memory of that night. The only evidence now, being the rapier that Wellington still has.

Early Life

Turning 18, and having his last foster home be in Thaslofell, Wellington was separated from his brothers and ended up working as a fishmonger at Crab-Slice Docks. He worked here for 10 years, making an average living, and hoping to find a wife and settle down. During his 11th year having felt he wasted his life, he had a nightmare of the night his father was killed, and new it was a calling. He sent letters to his brothers, tracked them down, and they decided to regroup after all these years, face their fears, and go back to their childhood home.

Wellington and his brothers dug through their fishing hut trying to find a will or any valuables after their father's death. They wanted to leave the village to be safe, and get revenge. They found a will, and Wellington had inherited his father's boat, the brother's sailed that night, following descriptions of his father's journey to find where he went on his travels. They discovered a town after 3 months of sailing, Twin-Break Docks, after some investigation, they found a small guild of pirates who knew their father. They were told the grand tales of his adventures, which inspired them further to slay the captain who killed their dad. But first, they needed supplies, so they stayed for 6 months. The brothers decided to split up, they had the idea to form their own crews and explore different docks and islands for experienced sailors. Wellington went from Twin-Break Docks to The Gloria Archipelago just east of Ganymere, catching a ferry to Frater Island. At Frater Island he only found a small village where he had to wait 1 month for another ferry to arrive.

Demeanor

Wellington is quiet, serious, and takes a back seat, following along and observing his party's actions. He is very intelligent and is often seen deep in thought, no matter the situation. He has no patience for small talk, and converses mainly for information. However, with the right questions, tone, and time of day, he'll be happy to open up, and talk about his past.

Likes/Dislikes

One of things Wellington loves most is when a good plan comes together. He also likes being near the ocean, the fresh salty scent brings him good memories of exploring his home island and playing games. The feeling of a well deserved adrenaline rush, is something that keeps him going.

Wellington dislikes the dark, it reminds him of the night his father was killed. His dark vision helps him cope, but he prefers the warm glow of a fire.
