Ironhorse

Realm of Origin: Toril (Forgotten Realms)
Era: Present (after the Time of Troubles)

At the tender age of 6, he was found wandering the wilderness by a traveling merchant caravan on its way from Cormyr to the Sword Coast. He had no memory of his past or his name, only that something terrible had happened. One of the merchants, Korban Vaenir, took him in after attempts to find his parents failed. Soon thereafter, Korban and his wife, Selara, officially adopted him, naming him Jared.

During his young teenage years, he fell in with a bad crowd, and ran away from home during a fit of rebellion. He lived off the street for several months, learning the art of thievery in order to scrape out a meager living.

The streets also taught him the basics of how to fight. With his strong and nimble body frame, he was an ideal candidate to become a prize fighter in various "non-lethal" combat sports. Though the contests were not meant to be to the death, accidents happened all too often.

He made fast friends with some of the regulars at the contests, and earned the nickname "Ironhorse" from his peers in reference to his incredible stamina in the contests. However, when one of his closest friends was brutally killed and dismembered by a crazed combatant in one of the contests, it proved a sobering experience for him.

After leaving the contests for good, he hired himself out as an "adventurer for hire," mostly serving as a guard for merchant caravans or hunting down local menaces such as bandits, orcs, and such. He threw himself into his work, travelling from one place to the next, always trying to forget his past.
