Exiled Noble

Born into a old and established family you always felt forced to follow the path of your name. You understand wealth, power, and privilege. Although you still care your title you tend to only use it to turn a situation in your favor. Your family is quite large and influential, but holds no political power as they embrace and invest in a free an open market. Greedy merchants and although loved by most you know of the dark secrets the elders have.

When you decided to not follow in the path of your name, wanting to live your own adventure, there was much friction within the family. At first there was acceptings, hoping it was just a faze. Then you made the decision that went to far for your father/parents. After your secret came out you got exiled, your noble coat ripped from your shoulders and forced by the guards to leave. 
Exiled and left with minimum items you where forced to travel the world how you seem fit. Only left with a small jewelry item (ring, broch, pin or pocket watch) that carries your family insignia and some personal items you embarked with.
