Kanon the Wanderer

Kanon 'the Wanderer' is a human male who spends most of his time wandering around the vast continent of Erdesia. Accompanied by his partner, Lisa, he visits unusual sites and records them on his journal. He is particularly talented in the Arts, spending his precious time to recite his ballads to any who are interested in hearing his tales.

He is currently in the Far North, five kilometers away from Aton, to investigate the rumours of a black obelisk that had risen from the ground on the eve of the Pasola.

Early Life
Born in Athura, Kanon is the son of a young prostitute who worked in one of the many brothels that dot the city. His father was said to be a despot under Hagrid var Ibelid, though his identity remains unknown to him. Unable to raise him, Kanon's mother was forced to abandon him in the streets when he was six-years-old. He grew up maneuvering the crowded streets of the imperial capital with ease, pick pocketing unfortunate souls who were ignorant enough to not notice the missing pouch on their belts. Eventually, he made a reputation for himself as being a skilled negotiator and a talented musician, which attracted the attention of a visiting Pelarian count -- one Galar var Sommerset. The count took the street urchin under his care, where he was taught by the finest scholars of Pelaria.

His time at Galar's court taught the boy the intricacies of court politics. He developed a flamboyant personality, and his appetite for sex knows no bound. Despite his origins, the count loved him unconditionally, seeing Kanon as equal to his five sons. His adopted brothers, jealous that their father spent more time with him than with any of them, began plotting his demise. When the count suddenly died under suspicious circumstances, the eldest of the count's biological sons, Thoriel, accused Kanon of assassinating their father. With the help of Lisa (who served as one of the count's guards), he managed to narrowly escape the castle, fleeing deep into the countryside.
