Character History On your homeworld of Demet in Hyrkulspace, Tomas had a successful business as a messenger in the frontiers of your local kingdom of Telvica. It wasn't very prestigious, but the baron he served appreciated his services very much.
While delivering a secret message to one of the local fiefdoms, he felt a rush through his mind that caused him to lose your footing from dizziness and collapse unconscious into the dirt.
Waking up some time later, Tomas found himself barely clothed and chained inside a small, dark room with two other people: a human and a dwarf. His two new companions weren't very good conversationalists and only spoke to him in whispers, giving him warnings not to cause trouble or the masters would take him away.
One day, an explosion of wood was heard a short distance above him and was followed by two more, one of which was a very short distance from his room. Screams accompanied the nearby explosion which eventually died down to groans of pain and cries for help. Nobody responded to the pleas, and the wounded people finally went silent after hours of agony.
Days later, with no activity aboard ship and on the brink of starvation, Tomas and the other slaves were rescued by a passing ship. With the assistance of the one of the humans that crewed the ship, he was finally able to see his captors: strange creatures with purplish skin and tentacles around their mouth. The human called them illithids.
Tomas and the other survivors were taken over to the humans' ship, where he was fed and clothed. After recovering, the captain allowed him to search through the loot from the illithids' ship to find any possessions that may have belonged to him. Once everything was in order, he was informed that he would be taken to the nearest port: a city named Hestia. After a short time aboard ship, he grew to like wildspace and wanted to experience more of it.
He arrived at Hestia after a few weeks travel aboard the Journeyman, the humans' ship. He went ashore with the captain's blessing to fend for himself, and the Journeyman left port the next day.
After a few days of spending time looking around the city, he found a notice posted on one of the poles near the marketplace. It offered an invitation for employment aboard ship and asked to inquire with the Celestial Legion. He decided to check it out and went to their location deep in the heart of the city.
