    Markos Lazelis was born in a small forested town, to a family of four. His father was a fletcher and planned to train his now 3 sons in the same profession. From a young age Markos had a bow in his hands testing his arrows, but Markos never felt comfortable. The boundaries of that small town were never enough to contain his fiery spirit and the uniformity of his job were too constricting. As a boy he wood often roam the woods, exploring every nook and cranny collecting interesting rocks or pieces of bone. While his father would often get angry at him for slacking on his duties, his skills came in quite handy one day in his 10th year when the leather workers son, Minoas, went missing. The men of the town quickly organized a search party to comb the woods, Markos tried to go along, but his father said he was too young and sent him inside. The search party returned hours later with no luck. That night Markos waited until he heard the snoring of his father before he snuck out of his room quickly grabbing his bow and quiver on the way. He made his way down to a small creek wear the children of the village would play. Although there were signs of the search party around the area, he eventually found a small trail of footprints that went through the mud. He followed the trail deeper into the woods, using broken branches and disturbed plants to find his way. 30 minutes later he pushed through some bushes only to nearly fall down a 10 foot drop hidden behind them. There laying at the bottom he saw Minoas. He quickly rushed down to see if he was okay. Despite on foot being twisted in a nauseating direction, he was unhurt. Markos helped him upright and supported him as they made the slow journey back. By the time they stumbled back into the village, dawn was well past breaking and the people were starting to leave their houses. Once they spotted the pair, the villagers quickly rushed to them shocked and ecstatic to have Minoas returned to them. The following days were filled with songs and festivities to celebrate Minoas mostly unharmed return, the village hailed Markos as a hero and he loved every moment of it.
    As Markos approached his 18th birthday, he became more and more restless. His brush with the local fame became something he craved. He longed to explore new the world and collect interesting items, and hear crowds chanting his name. The simple village life would never be for him and he often told his father such, much to his dismay. A week after he turned 18 he left with a passing caravan, only taking his bow, quiver, a few pairs of clothes, and his sense of adventure. He traveled with various merchants, gaining connections and making a minor name for himself in various locations and eventually operated his own wagon and caravan. He gained his nick name for his affection towards shiny and interesting objects. He fell wholeheartedly into this nickname, even going so far as to use raven feathers for the fletching on his arrows.
    He had grown up with stories of Elpida and the legends only continued to grow as he grew older. Eventually he couldn't resist the calling he felt for adventure and secured passage on a ship. He worked to build his connections within the city and establish himself as a merchant of rare and curious goods. He continues to explore new areas finding rare goods, and gaining wealth and fame.
