Character's back story:

The path to knowledge is a long and winding road, full of darkness, terror, and hopefully redemption.

20 Years ago in the city of Eastwind, the Hattin family were well known pickpockets. Meichan learned the craft from his father, but in his earliest years served mostly as a distraction. His mother was responsible for taking care of problems, both inside and outside the family. His father rarely learned from mistakes and Eastwind city guards were empowered to take a hand as immediate restitution for the act of stealing, so by the time he was born, his mother had slipped a few daggers between city guard's ribs. Still they both provided for their family in the only way they knew.

One day, two weeks until his 6th birthday, There was a knock at the Hattin door. The safehouse they were using was an abandoned tenement building in the slums, and it alarmed everyone present that anyone had found them here. As his mother pulled her blades, his father opened the door. While Meichan huddled in the closet with his younger sister and older brother, all that waited his father at the door was a conversation.

The thieves guild had finally noticed them. His father was given two choices, join the guild and pay them a percentage or stop stealing. His father chose a third option. He continued to pickpockets in Eastwind, and they moved to a new safehouse. For a few more weeks things seemed to return to normal.

The children were upstairs in their room, sleeping when the knock came again. The children hid again in the closet. Meichan tried to quiet his little sister as she cried, while his older brother grabbed a broken board and stood at the door. He heard his father cry out and fall. Then the sounds of a scuffle, and silence again. Then a heavy step on the stairs.

Meichan knew his sister would lead them to their hiding place. He knew his brother wouldn't be able to hold them off. Meichan did the only thing he could think of, and made a decision that followed him for the rest of his life. He left the closet, ran to the window, and climbed out. He made his way to the roof and waited. His brother shouted as he held the door fast, but eventually the men broke through, Meichan ran, hopping from roof to roof. Getting as far away from his former home as he could.

Over the next couple of days, he begged and stole what he needed to survive. Then, when goodwill and fools ran out of patience with him, he decided to make his way back to the place where his courage had fled. The door was still open, but the smell was overwhelming. Inside his father, mother and two other men laid dead, their glassy eyes staring at nothing. He collected what he could, his mother's daggers, his father's tools, and what food he could salvage. He went upstairs to find clothes... but there was blood everywhere. His brother was dead, and the door to the closet hung open. Suddenly the fear was within Meichan again, and he ran.

The following years were tough, but he'd had good teachers. He stole what he needed and whenever there was a need he'd brandish his mother's blades. At the age of 10 someone stole one of them from him during the night. After that, he slept with the other under his pillow.

When he was 12, Meichan found an abandoned house, like almost any other. The outside appeared to be particularly run down, and Meichan figured he had some rats to contend with in order to make it his own, but that was nothing new. However, after picking the lock on the door and making his way inside, he found something extraordinary.

The inside of the house was... opulent. There was more there than he could possibly ever fence. And from the outside it still appeared abandoned. He was certain magic of some kind was in effect, but he couldn't figure out why.

And it made him think. He could rob the place blind, but for what purpose? To get his own house? He had this one! So he began to use the house as his own base, cluttering pristine floors with items he'd collected from various nobles. The larders were always well stocked with food. It almost seemed to restock itself.

After a few weeks of this, he woke up one morning to an elderly man sitting by his bedside. The man was a Wizard he'd said. And this was his base. The Wizard needed a safe place he was familiar with to teleport to in times of crisis, and this house was that. But having a companion wasn't the worst thing in the world, so if he wanted to stay there, he could... as long as he picked up his crap and kept the place clean.

Meichan had become acclimated to the nicer things, so he readily accepted. The wizard needed to know how his magical lock had been bypassed, and as Meichan explained it, the Wizard's eyes lit up.

It seemed that Meichan had a latent talent for magic. After a few days of lessons, Meichan could cast a cantrip. A few weeks later he cast his first real spell. And after that... Meichan was introduced to the Eastwind Mages Guild.

The Wizard offered to sponsor him for a year, and Meichan studied the fields that interested him, Illusion, Enchantment, and Transmutation. In his second year he had to take a job in the Mages Guild Library to continue his studies. After another decade of learning, he earned his robes and became a wizard in his own right.

The power vacuum that appeared in the thieves guild hierarchy the day after the Mage's Guild graduation ceremony was entirely coincidental, and though the bodies of those that disappeared were never found, it's entirely possible they're just on a very long vacation. Right?

OOC: Meichan has as his driving focus the need to stay alive. He's worked as a librarian for 13 years(he continued the job after his graduation), studying books on magical longevity and immortality. If he gets involved in an adventuring party, it will likely be because he has read somewhere about a potential artifact or spell granting immortality and is doing "practical research".
