Corbin had
grown up always on the streets. He maneuvered his way of life as a beggar and a
thief. Eventually as a young teen he was taken in by the Thieves’ Guild. Within
the guild he was able to hone his skills and became a renowned thief and
assassin amongst the underground.
His notoriety
gained the attention of Ritta Moontail and her group of red robed draconic
cultists. The two struck a deal with one
another. Corbin would provide her with supplies she requested, while Ritta
would provide funding and the occasional magic potion and elixir he could sell.
Eventually
Ritta started backing out of their agreement, claiming he was no longer useful to
her efforts, and she had what she wanted. Corbin didn’t like the idea of her ending
their agreement so abruptly. Knowing that she was recreating celestial masks he
used what information he had against her. While in her office, Corbin had snuck
in and used the mask as a means to assassinate her. He forced the unstable mask
onto her face causing her to react negatively. The false mask bound to her
face, allowing Corbin to stab her several times before the curse consumed her.
After her
swift death, he took the false Mask of the Dragon with him.
Later, he
was discovered in a warehouse by the champions chosen by the Gods. The men he
was with were taken out easily, but Corbin managed to escape after he faked his
death and the coast was clear.
Corbin took
his newfound opportunity to flee with the mask he possessed. He came across an
eccentric individual by the name of Kather. With her knowledge, and the help of
her crew, they were able to modify the mask to fit Corbin’s desired appearance.
After putting on the newly designed mask, he was able to fight through the
curse and bond with it, earning him the name Dragon Thief.
With the
further help of Kather and her crew, Corbin learned the ways of a Unknown.
He later found a pocket dimension of many crossroads. It was a point in
dimensional jumping where many portals diverged into one location. He utilized
this as an opportunity to create The Laughing Den. A safe haven for those like
him jumping in between the many realms.
