Display Slave

You were born into a life of servitude under an organization that sells or deals with human trade. As a slave to these people you may have been exchanged between masters for years or spent your entire life in one cell. For some you might have been a prostitute, for other a mere servant, through all of it you were also treated as a display individuals for the dark underground of society. Through all of this you were a 'living' mannequin perhaps to demonstrate your species ability, to demonstrate potions or show off new clothing. Whether you were treated with cruelty or relative kindness, you were still expected to "know your place" and were punished when you stepped out of line. Toiling for another, obeying orders, and debasing yourself have been your way of life. However, you have escaped this life of servitude and now have your freedom. Your background as a slave has given you the patience to suffer the vagaries of powerful people and also insight into the dynamics of power, its uses and abuses.
