Tatters

Coming from a rich and powerful family from Baldurs Gate, as a young boy, Tatters had the very best private tutors that money could buy. However, at an early age, he uncovered a talent for avoid them and their lessons. This ability was further honed during his ignoring the teaching at his Draconic College based at Candlekeep, including numerous secondments with various arcane masters...most of whom were stuffy and couldn't unlock Tatters potential.

Tatts has a dislike for any hard work, books especially are something that disgusts him (so boring, I mean magic is innate right) and honed his skills avoiding tutors, bribing class mates and generally being a layabout.

Coming from a life of luxury, Tatt's enjoyed the finer things in life, using wealth and position to get into and out of a multitude of scrapes and petty crimes. After being sent to the Draconic College, Tatt's realised his days of lazing around and getting other people to do his work were over. In response, he did what any normal child would do - he tried to cheat. Breaking into the colleges' Hidden Archives, trying to find some way to make the hours of studying bearable.

The explosion and resulting fire was never 'officially' attributed to Tatt's, but did cause extensive damage to the college. Everyone knew who caused it, but without evidence no charges could be brought however letters to his parents advising Tatters immediate withdrawal from college were sent. Faced with the choices of being sent home and forced to enrol in the Army or going on the run, Tatters gathered up his belongings and headed off.

Sharra was the name of the place he saw mentioned in the Archives. knowing his father's reach didn't stretch that far, and seeing the opportunity to make money (he is the greatest Sorcerer in modern times after all) he headed South trying to remember what the ancient document said about Sharra - something about ghosts and a tower?

After travelling for a very dull eternity, with some fanatical Priests who worshiped....er.... Slothander/Low Rider... or some such nonsense, he has finally reached Sharra.
