Editing Hectar (section)

==Backstory==

Hectar had a privileged upbringing and a (mostly) loving and supportive family. He squired for his uncle Baktas, and achieved his knighthood by winning the squires' joust at a tourney when he was 19. Two years later, in the wake of his father's death, and the power struggle between his uncles for the late Lord Vaerlys' Lord Vraezor position, he fled his homeland to seek his own path, not wanting a part of the growing family in-fighting. 

He made his way to the coast, taking up small mercenary jobs, and eventually joined a pirate crew, having been seduced by an alluring Captain who tantalised him with romanticised tales about life on the sea and the promise of vast personal wealth. He did well for himself for a while, but when the relationship came to an abrupt and messy end, he found himself back on dry land permanently again. The circumstances of his ejection from the crew can only be speculated upon, but any suggestion that it was the fault of Hectar's own roving eyes are vehemently denied, though he invariably refuses to offer his own interpretation.

So, the once proud and noble son of one of Asmrel's most powerful Houses returns to mercenary work, but with a new goal - to rebuild the wreck of his good name without becoming an abstinent bore in the process.
