HISTORY
Not much is known about Jaskan's past but at least this much has been uncovered...His family comes from Thavnair but he was born and spent most of his childhood in Kugane, after his parents traveled with a circus troupe to escape their home (reasons unknown). As soon as he was old enough, he joined his family in the circus trade as a Knife Thrower (particularly skilled in the "Impalement Arts").After a strict upbringing that left him with various useful skills that he still uses today, Jaskan left home, and Kugane, for the Azim Steppe. There he found himself surrounded by Xaela like himself and he shed his family name in exchange for joining the Adarkim tribe. He took on their name as his own and left behind the family name that haunted him. While with the tribe, they helped him harness his anger and aggression into combat skills that he uses for his current occupation today. At the same time, the calm and open of the Steppe helped him to control his emotions and keep a level head in any situation.All of this leading him to a life of contract/mercenary work that affords him the ability to travel where and when he pleases, never staying too long in one place. He's traversed many regions, been contracted by all sorts, but now he's locked in a job with an unknown end.
