Description
Attari was born into the house Lyrandar, a family who was focused completly on their immense shipping business. All his family, extended and not, were half-elves and he grew up knowing the support and nurturance that most people of his race don't get.
As he grew older, his family recognized that he had a talent for outwitting his friends and getting them to pay him or give him favors for even the slightest things. Even as a young man, Attari had an amazing ability to woo almost any of the girls he could have wanted with his sweet words and silvery tongue. Before he knew it, he had been thrust into the family business and was being used to get their services into the even the most hostile of the nations.
Unfortunately, he fell victim to one of the most horrendous traps any man has every met: he fell in love. The daughter of a Baron in the Spire City of Caurdor caught his eye and they ended up having a long trist, ending when the Baron told him to leave her. A fight ensued, and he got a nasty slash across his face and now wears a patch over one eye (though it is entirely unnecessary and he only wears it for style). The whole mess ended up with him not only losing a client but also a love as she had a very "unfortunate accident" in the event of his tiny faux-pas.
He returned to the Baron enraged by his carelessness with his own daughter, his own flesh and blood, to settle this. He told the vicious leader that if he does not step down from his place that he would have his family throw him off throne. The Baron counters with another offer. "Leave this place and never let any one of your family return and I will pay you more than you can imagine and I'll bring my lovely daughter back from the dead."
Being a regular Orpheus, Attari takes the offer and ends up being escorted out of the city sent back to his family. It turns out the Baron lied about bringing his daughter back from the grave but he did send along a hefty sum of jewels and gold. His family was not pleased, nevertheless, and exiled him for the remainder of his life. He took his newly acquired wealth and bought a ship, changed his name, and sailed off to Seawolf to find what he wanted in life.
He's still looking.
