*** Did you know...

The origins of the Prince of Thieves are obscure, shrouded in mystery. Legend has it he was once the prince of Martek, dishonoured and cast out. The story goes that the young Prince fell in love with a princess already betrothed to another nobleman.
Their affair was passionate but short lived, as they were soon discovered by the princess’s husband and the Prince was forced to kill him in the ensuing fight. When the Sultan of Martek found out about what his son had done, he banished the Prince from Martek, disinherited and alone. He was forced to leave the city under penalty of death to return.

The Prince fled to Copher, where he was forced to live on the street like a common thief. Stealing what he needed to survive during the day, he slept in the alleys in the night. One day he was caught trying to steal food in the
bazaar. Normally, this would get him the penalty of death, or at the very least his hands cut off. But the Prince was lucky this day. The shopkeeper that caught him told him that he was a member of the Thieves Guild, and that he was looking to recruit new initiatives to their cause. The Prince eagerly accepted, and for the next years he would be trained by the Thieves Guild, turning him into an excellent street fighter and acrobat. Eventually, he was about to become Guild Master
himself, taking over the old master’s position with his passing.

Today, the Prince of Thieves controls the Guild with outmost efficiency. He sometimes takes to the field in the armies of Araby, disguised as an ordinary soldier in the hopes to ‘retrieve’ any artefacts from their owners.
