You previously pursued a simple profession among the peasantry, perhaps as a farmer, miner, servant, shepherd, woodcutter, or gravedigger. But something happened that set you on a different path and marked you for harder lessons. Choose or randomly determine a defining event that marked you as a hero of the people.

Since you come from the ranks of the lower classes, you fit in among them with ease. You can find a place to hide, rest, or recuperate among other other outcast groups, criminals, the poor, and other refugee groups, unless you have shown yourself to be a danger to them. They will shield you from the law or anyone else searching for you, though they will not risk their lives for you.
Suggested Characteristics
A refugee is one of the downtrodden people, for better or for worse. Most refugees look on their humble origins as a virtue, not a shortcoming as they acclimate to their new communities.
