Date of Birth: Sometime in 477 D.Y.
-----Gimplefwick Wispybeard was born into a life of crime, the son of the infamous halfling duo known commonly as Chartreusebeard and Mauvebeard (Gimplefwick was always a little confused as to why his mother had a beard, perhaps she was part dwarf). His parents taught him much of the finer skills associated with criminal behavior and weapons, but the lure of the high seas soon took hold of Gimplefwick and he eventually found himself aboard a pirate vessel, serving as lowly crewman.
-----But a life of swabbing decks and running up mizzenmasts was not for Gimplefwick. During an epic sea battle against a fleet of privateers, Gimplefwick wielded his mop with heroic fortitude and strength (for a halfling anyway), and managed to push the enemy captain over the side of the ship to the waiting sharks below. Disheartened at the loss of their captain, the enemy crew soon fled the battle, leaving the brave pirates to celebrate their victory over the much-hated forces of law and order.
-----Gimplefwick himself was awarded the Colorful Parrot of Bravery, a high piratical honor, which he has worn ever since on his shoulder. Soon after his epic feat, Gimplefwick rose up through the ranks of the pirate vessel, distinguishing himself in battle after battle, eventually attaining the rank of First Mate.
-----Unfortunately, this distinction also awakened the jealousy of some less noble creatures aboard the ship who took their opportunity one night to take advantage of the Dread Pirate. Drunk out of his gourd on tropical rum drinks, Gimplefwick found himself overwhelmed then bound, gagged and cast adrift on the open sea in a tiny rowboat. Days passed before the tides washed his tiny boat ashore and some passing farmers released him and took his rowboat. Since then, Gimplefwick has wandered the land, moving from village to city, living a life of crime and gazing mournfully at the sea, which he purportedly yearns for.
