Backstory
Thane was raised in a pampered environment, unaware of the poverty that was present even in the city itself, rarely leaving the Noble district and had little knowledge of non noble lifestyles.

As he grew older he questioned about the lively hood of non noble families, including most of the workers at his father's company. His father harshly informed him that as nobles, they were superior and deserved to commoners as filth. For years his father tried to force his philosophy on his son but Thane felt it was unfair that he should be treated with more rights because of his influence and wealth.

As he was slowly introduced to the local economy of the city, he quickly discovered the harsh lifestyle the commoners lived. The lack of rights they had, the poor working conditions they were forced to endure and the lack of assistance the city guards offered them in the case of theft or being mistreated.

As Thane became part of the company at the age of 18, he was secretly paying his workers more and occasionally sent supplies to families in the commoner's district behind his father's back. His father, enraged by this act and blinded by his greed, disowned his only son and kicked him out.

Unable to live a life in the commoner's district without any money or skills, Thane left the city and wandered around the forest. After a few weeks of travelling he found a monastery at the heart of the forest. Here the monks lived a peaceful lifestyle, ignoring race, ethnicity or class and living together. Thane was invited to live in the monastery as long as he pulled his own weight and was trained in their ways.

At first it was difficult, but years of training hardened Thane and he slowly mastered the art of the monk. At the age of 38, Thane felt he was destined to help bring equality among the world, as little as he can and presented to leave the monastery and devote his life to bringing peace and equality and help with the current struggles and civil wars going on.
