You were born into a noble family, the offspring of a clandestine affair or a hidden tiefling lineage. From the moment you took your first breath, your existence was shrouded in secrecy, known to only a select few within the noble hierarchy. You were raised in the shadows of opulent estates, taught the ways of both nobility and stealth, all while being denied the privileges and recognition normally bestowed upon heirs.

However, as you reached adulthood, the truth of your lineage could no longer remain hidden. Whether due to a vengeful rival, a family scandal, or a simple twist of fate, your noble family decided to sever ties with you, casting you out onto the unforgiving streets. No longer a member of the elite, you found yourself alone and disowned, carrying with you the weight of a hidden past.

You may have had a secretive mentor who guided your early years or uncovered the truth behind your disownment. Now, with the knowledge of your noble heritage and the drive to seek redemption, you navigate a world where you are neither fully accepted by the nobility nor truly one of the common people. In other words you are a fish out of water. Your quest for answers, redemption, and a place to belong continues to shape your journey, even as you champion those who have been silenced and cast aside by society.

Does your family have a coat of arms? An insignia you might wear on a signet ring? Particular colors you wear all the time? An animal you regard as a symbol of your line or even a spiritual member of the family?
