Backstory

His family were rich merchants and newly minted nobles in [insert relevant kingdom here]. His older brother, Hollis, started a rebellion against the King on the night Gettis' younger sister, Imhed, was being presented at court.

The presentation ball became known as "The Bloodletter's Ball". Hollis and his fellow rebels came within a hair'd breadth of killing the King. In the days after the ball, Hollis' and Gettis' parents threw in with Hollis' rebellion.

When the king's forces rallied and routed the initial rebellion, the Oataheir family fled. Gettis was captured, and despite taking no personal actions against the King, was put in prison as a traitor.

Getti's parents and sister fled, and have since disappeared into hiding from the King's agents, who hunt them to this day. Hollis has continued to fight a guerrilla rebellion against the King. In so doing, Hollis has gained the moniker "Hollis the Red" for his penchant for painting his shield red with the blood of fallen enemies.

Gettis has severed a ten year stint, and was freed about a year ago. While in prison he received martial/magical training from one of the other prisoners, and built up contacts in the criminal community. Over the past year, he's been doing light cons an d some mercenary work for criminals, while searching for his sister and parents.

He's come to Freeport because he's got a lead on getting in touch with his family.
