Past
A Gnome of...alternative interests, Norman Appleranch has always been on the move.

Raised in a small Gnomish farming community on the outskirts of the country, where he lived a peaceful existance. A natural wonderlust and fasination for the new was agonising for him as a child, being trapped in his quiet community. Fleeing the humble life of a farmboy, he took to the road early in his life with ambition in his heart and a deep shame of his humble origins, which he holds responsible for most of his problems. He has never since returned to his old home, instead fending for himself with his skills. Dishonestly, trickery, and theft are not beyond him.

He in fact, revels in them.

The Halfling Maid
In the early days of his travel while he was still poor and armed with little other then his wits and charm, he encountered a Halfling caravan. Quickly finding friends among them, he joined them in their travels and ate from their fires. While there he met a charming girl by the name of Lavinia, who was daughter to the caravan's rich honey trader. It was she that taught him how to play the flute during their time together.

All good things come to an end though.

Being an outsider to the clan, and not a Halfling himself, Norman was unfit for Livinia's hand, who was more inclined for him to accept it each day. When confronted about it by her father, he agreed to leave and without a hassle, provided he was given some funds to set him on his way. Before he left however, he swept her away for the evening on his final night, and took her maidenhead in a nearby forest clearing. She gave to him her flute as a token of her love.

He has not yet since seen the caravan again.

Present
Since that time, he has made his way in a collection of cities, getting involved with the local underworld more then once in order to get some money. Using his smaller stature into order to get those to underestimate him, he would use charm and wit to win the right people over, before vanishing into the night with gold and documentation.

After a close run in with an organization known as the Ratman Pack, and loosing much of the gold he'd earned, he decided to try his hand at the adventuring game for a change of pace.
