Born the bastard son of nobility to a mere maid John was only 6 years old when the higher ups decided he was to much of a risk to keep alive. With his mother murdered and him left for dead the blood still trickling down his small back he stood up and stumbled on until he collapsed in a near by forest. On that day an elf returning from the city discovered the boy and brought him back to his village where by some miracle they were able to save his life. The elven man and his wife adopted him but he never forgot what had been done to him or his birth mother. His father Valorian was astonished when someone so young asked him to teach him how to fight. Valorian found out quickly that he was no ordinary child he showed great aptitude in riding as well as sword play he learned in a week what took elven children years to master.
While his life at home was enjoyable he was discriminated against and bullied by the other children. He didn't want to hurt them so he would always run away but when he was 13 he enrolled in warrior training where he quickly proved to them all that he was not someone they could treat with disrespect anymore. Five years past, attacks on the village were growing stronger and more frequent John had proved himself a natural born leader. Sadly in the last raid John was out leading a hunting party while he was away his parents where killed, now with nothing holding him there he left looking to build an army and get revenge on the bastards who had killed his birth mother. But soon found out that the country had fallen and that all the ancestry had been killed. So he forgot about revenge and started a mercenary group and called it The Band of the Hawk. And that's where our story begins.
