Orphaned at a young age Emanon knew no other life than living with the elven couple who had raised him. They lived on the outskirts of Silverymoon and Emanon had few friends his age, he always felt like an outsider as his people usually remained in the mountains, and the locals didn't understand him. Emanon dreamed of always becoming a Mercenary, having adventures and battling evil. Life had different plans.
His father passed away just before Emanon was of an age that any group would dare to take him. So he knew he would have to stay and take care of his mother. Emanon worked odd jobs to take care of her, but they were few and far between for someone like him.
At age 21 Emanon met a young drow woman, Zephyrus, who understood his pain of being mistrusted and an outsider. Zephyrus came out of the Underdark never wanting to return. Uninterested in the massive politics of it.
Soon after the couple had wed they had a son Dekram. They were a happy family living with Emanon's mother and living a simple life. But Emanon still had to support the growing family somehow.
Unfortunately, fate came calling and Emanon was caught and imprisoned for thievery. He spent 18 months in that prison having nothing to do but train and learn to fight in order to survive. After his sentence Emanon returned home hardly being able to keep the smile off his face. But once again, life had other plans.
