====== Wyn Roth ======

Wyn is a longstanding character designed as part of an adventuring family, alongside two other players.  The short background, given here, is the abridged version we used when we joined his current game.  The actual background is now spread over four or five RPoL games -  one of which is devoted entirely to family background.

He is now married (to an NPC from the Valerez Game) and the family own an inn.   They also spent a number of years as NPCs, in a game that I ran, until we could find a suitable GM for them.  We are very protective of The Roths, although they change slightly, whenever we find a new game, to fit the GM's world.

SHARED HISTORY:

Our story, perhaps, starts when our grandparents (the DuFeu’s) came to Ironridge
to settle.  Grandfather had been a mercenary officer, Grandma  one of their supporting
sorcerers, and when their family started to get old enough, they settled down.

Grandfather was ‘Captain of the Guard’ in Ironridge, when a visiting Elven Bard made
free with his daughter’s honour – she (our mother) was clearly with child and was
married off, quickly, to a junior officer (Lieutenant Roth, red hair, from a nco
level military family).  Soon afterwards, Wyn was born).  Then Berta (a true child
of the marriage) came along -  followed by Gedd  (who had none of his father’s
features and was born 9 months after a party that father didn’t attend).

Wyn was a Mummy’s Boy.  Berta was the apple of her father’s eye and Gedd was an
outcast, brought up by the servants.  By now, the grandparents had moved to Haverton
(a large market town 30 miles away) to take a  more responsible position and Father
had been promoted to Captain of the Guard in Ironridge.  Relations between Mother
and Father soured,  Mother became introverted, Father became a drunken bully.  We
children became close to each other.  Our grandparents passed away.
(Level 2 characters – 1 Natural class & 1 Trained class)

Eventually Mother retired to a convent, where she became victim of a plot to frame
her for theft.  We siblings didn’t believe this, investigated and discovered our
Father was involved with the plot.  Eventually we lost both parents – Mother died
of the stress, Father was sacked, imprisoned and not seen again.

By this time, Orc raids on the town intensified, as they were pushed out of their
ranges by the raiders moving south, and all three of us helped in the fight to
protect the town.  But it was a losing battle and before too long people started to
leave.  The iron wasn’t worth that many lives.

With nothing to hold us in the area (there may have been few Uncles/Aunts/Cousins
around – but they were never close) we signed up as caravan guards, initially
protecting the people leaving Ironridge and then continuing on to Valarez – where
we have undertaken a couple of minor jobs (one foiling graverobbers with Gnicely).
