Gabriel's words also seem to carry an effect.</div></div><br/>Taking a breath, Dain sighed and then hesitating a second or two about his reply, he began to speak in answer, though taking a very serious tone of voice as he did speak. His eyes following Gabriel in return. "I am not a saint. I have been involved with some things in the past I'm not proud of." Looking at Gabriel, he spoke seriously. "I know back alleys of this city. I know every fence of worth knowing, every thieves market, every secret gathering place known by the thieves guild. I know the underground,<em>sir.</em>" He looked at Gabriel seriously. "I also saw guards that took money, Protectors that killed people because they refused king's orders. I've been around to see a lot of things. I have killed two protectors in the past myself, for what I perceived was unnecessary cruelty." He snorted.<br/><br/>"Roamers are not exactly met with lot of open acceptance but some folks here have been worse. The King's rule has taxed roamers but at least allowed them to keep going. Some neighboring kingdoms try to kill, enslave, or just banish roamers. People are welcome to settle down in small communities if they give up the roamer ways, but otherwise, we're seen as spies." He narrowed his eyes. "So my merry band of roamders used to roam this land, but a lot of them paused here and near the capital. Little fairs and celebrations benefit from wild dancers and singers." He snorted. "As for me, I knew how to get around, steal what needed to be stolen, and cut the throat of someone causing trouble." Looking at Gabriel seriously, he spoke the last words intently.<br/><br/>"Two years ago, someone murdered my parents, and stole my sister from them. My father was still clutching this when he was found." He held up a red cloth, torn banner, with a golden 'C' letter imposed on the crimson banner's surface. "So I think we share an enemy. I want vengeance, and if someone like this is trying to get to power, I am not too keen on it either. I saw the rebels carry this symbol, so..." He smirked. "I stabbed one. I stabbed him till he was bleeding to death. I cut his mask off his fast, and saw its inner symbols fry the instant it was off. Clearly they got some powerful backing." He snorted. "Maybe another whole kingdom? Either way, someone that kills my family and with the way others treat roamers, this place isn't innocent but its  better than alternatives. So." He glared at Gabriel. "I may not be too easy to command but I'll focus on orders, and in time I'll have my vengeance in turn."
