Nathan Vale

Nathan was born in Kilvas, from a Raven father and Beorc mother. Trained from a young age as a thief cover, he was also trained for assassin work. It was his job for the Daein Blood-Pact, and that if something failed, he was to be the back-up plan and assassinate the King. However, in the normal timeline, there was no need, and he left Kilvas for various missions, reporting back to his handler every now and then.

Early Life
Nathan was born in Kilvas, with a Crow father. He lived there for most of his early life. His mother, a beorc, had died early on in his life. His father never really cared about him that much, letting him wander off while he was young. He met the young Naesala soon, and formed a rivalry with him that still stands today. While most assassins practiced with knives or short swords, Nathan felt that was too generic for assassins, and he chose to wield a spear. This would prove invaluable later on, when he was exiled from Kilvas, and they sent assassins after him. His natural advantage to these assassins would save his life time and time again. He was exiled from Kilvas, at about twenty four years old. He left for Crimea, which is where he would soon meet Skyler, a soon to be friend of his.

Travels with Skyler
He met Skyler just days after leaving Kilvas and arriving in Melior. Both were attacked by city guards, Skyler had stolen a blade from a traveling armorer, and Nathan had a price on his head from the Kilvan assassins. They helped defend each other, and while talking, they struck up a friendship that would last decades.
