Master Antix is the Representative of the House Niganze, a well known mercenary, and a notorious scoundrel. Early in his career with House Niganze, he was sent across the continent to promote the services of Niganze. He would regularly offer the services of his mercenary band to warmongers, would-be-backstabbers, and the occasional "last stand" of an out of luck noble. Shen managed to take the easy money, the easy way out, and the easy life every time. It became well known that luck was on your side if you managed to hire Master Antix to your side. What most people don't realize is that Shen was almost always privy to both sides of a conflict. He would play both sides, take their money, and put on a "show" for the nobles. Niganze recognized Shen's talents, and installed him as Master Antix, Representative of House Niganze. With everything going for him, Shen searched out the woman he'd always loved to confess, but was rejected out of hand. She disappeared from Shen's life with no clue to her whereabouts. Down on his luck, Shen has started considering a return to the wider world, hoping to find his glory, love, and most importantly, his fortune, elsewhere. There's always the possibility of finally finding evidence of his true bloodlines as well, having always been told he was of royal birth by his parents.
He left town after trying to get his family sorted out and found out his wife knew everything and kicked him out of the house.
Decided he'd try a new life in Malgos.
Shen will do what he can for some time to promote Niganze, woo Bael, and support Rayko in his bid for council membership, or at least establishing some portion of rule over Mt. Roma. Bael becomes pregnant with Shen's daughter during this time. Shen takes up Alchemy and studies under the tutelage of the Mt Roma Alchemist's Guild, but expands the influence of the Niganze Clan in Mt Roma at the same time. A few years later, Bael suddenly leaves Shen, seeing what type of person he truly was and feeling a need to return to the Elven people. Devastated by Bael's rejection, Shen leaves with his daughter to travel. By chance he comes across Sarova still on her pilgrimage. Looking for a chance to leave his old life behind, Shen unabashedly courts Sarova and wins her over. Over the course of several years of travelling, Shen and Sarova eventually move to Malgos and marry. Shen settles down, opens an Alchemist shop, and raises a family. Unfortunately, the Niganze family finds him and redrafts Shen back into their services. Shen's actions in Mt Roma inadvertently caused some bad blood within Niganze, and eventually an order from the top comes down to remove him. The assassins fail and in their blunder take the life of Shen's daughter. Appalled by what happened, Shen first pays an exorbitant amount to have her revived, and then leads a campaign of vengeance against the Niganze clan, eventually overturning the power dynamic, where the Antix Clan is established. He becomes a kingpin of the Drug, Mercenary, and Hospitality underworld, known far and wide across the content as someone you don't cross and a name that is only whispered. 2 decades pass under the new Antix Clan, but Shen faces increasing frustration as it becomes harder and harder to safeguard his family from the dark side of the underworld.. He leaves the Antix Clan in the capable hands of a figurehead (Hmm, maybe a certain ex-employee of Shen's?) and sets out for an unknown life.
More years pass, and word spreads of a fierce mercenary group in the Del Rey desert that only accepts high paying clientele with a mysterious leader. Even figuring out how to meet with them is nearly impossible to find out, but the rumor is that they always get the job done.
Shen's first love is someone to be respected. Somewhat innocent, but also a hard worker and a no-nonsense kinda girl. She's not amazingly beautiful, but she's got a kind soul. Most likely if she does have a class she'd be a cleric or possibly a monk. Shen was enamored with how pure she appears compared to how dirty and dark his own life is. Sort of an opposites attract effect. However, even with his elevated status, she refused his confession.
Human, not incredibly charismatic, but very wise. Brunette lanky hair, big brown eyes. A bit curvy, but more athletic then weighty.
When she finally has a chance though, she has a bit of a wild party side.

Jackson – My former underling and half-trusted sharpshooter. Another loose cannon as far as Shen is concerned, but at least it’s not pointed at him. Shen’s saved his life and will pull him from bad situations, but with Shen no longer being responsible for his ex-employee, Shen may not be so eager to bail him out. (Friends/Ex-Coworkers)
Rayko – Future King of Mt Roma as far as Shen is concerned. If Malgos can have a close friend in the leadership of Mt Roma…. Well…. that only benefits Shen. The closer Shen can get to Rayko, the better.
