the outlands were his chosen poison. his home, may he never say it in vain, was struck by disease and famine when he reached adulthood. his wife left him and his daughter alone. alone in a world that he had to learn how to deal with. how to fight it off. how to protect her. one of his greatest mistakes was not being able to. a night of traveling they were met with raiders, and fortitude barely escaped with his life. there are times where he wished he had gone with her.
fortitude has changed since then. he's had to. he's never truly coped with the death of his daughter. he is extremely short-tempered, a control freak, and has a hard time forming bonds with those he is surrounded by. he simply collects people for the purpose of survival, and nothing more.
