#aldren

Born to traveling merchants, Aldren was a precocious child until he lost his parents in front of his eyes at a young age. After this, he traveled to the capitol of Lidell and, upon receiving no help, met with a band of thieves whose leader was quick to take him in. In his teenage years, he was betrayed by a trusted friend and his mentor disappeared, leaving Aldren to lead the band. These events changed him in a way he couldn't recover from, making him slow to trust and reluctant to get close to people. He hides his insecurities behind a cocky exterior and faux self-assurance; and very few have seen him be serious, though rumors have it that behind his emotional wall hides a golden heart. Upon the fall of the capitol of Lidell, he is separated from his band of thieves, and instead happens upon the princess and her adopted brother. After jumping into a fight to save the princess, he is offered a handsome reward if he accompanies them.
