Tanis's life was troubled from the very beginning. A child born from the result of rape he was born into a group of camp followers, those non-combatants who followed a company of mercenaries. When he reached the age of thirteen Tanis was recruited into the company. Three years later he fled from the company after an incident that resulted in one of the company's captains. The captain had taken and raped one of the camp followers that Tanis had been trying to persue some sort of relationship with, when the girl died Tanis was enraged. He got the captain drunk and when the man took Tanis back to his tent Tanis plunged a concealed knife into the man's throat. As the captain's blood washed over his hands and he watched the last bit of life leave his victim's eyes it was at this point that Tanis realized he wanted to do this forever, he wanted to kill for a living.
After fleeing the company and living a life as a small time thug on the streets of various large cities he was eventually selected by an organization known as Death's Hand. After completing a series of trials Tanis was welcomed warmly into his new family of hired assassins. At only 23 he has quickly risen through the ranks of this group and, it is his hope one day, to become a member of the organization's inner circle or even, gods willing, its leader. For now he is simply attempting to achieve a newer and greater plateu of power.
