Personal history

Iacopo da Vigo was born to a wealthy family in Tussoa, upriver from Port Damali on the Menagerie Coast. His father died when he was young and his mother, serious and withdrawn at the best of times, spent several years grieving before re-marrying Vespia Sylvani, an elven woman with three grown children of her own.
 
Iacopo grew closer to his more light-hearted stepmother, learning some of the magic of the fey from her and harnessing his natural talents for drawing attention and influencing the minds of others. With his brother Fabricio poised to helm the family business after their mother retired, Iacopo searched for a way to apply his talents that could bring profit to him and his family, but was less...boring than accounting and commerce.
 
After some secret misadventures on the Menagerie Coast, Iacopo struck out for the eastern edge of Wildemount, gaining a concussion, a pet moose, and some badly needed perspective from his brief exploration of the pit underneath Olc Skerry. He returned home in a slightly more sober frame of mind and spent two years studying before boarding a ship to return for the treasure and renown he was previously unable to find.

Failures & Embarrassments

Terrible Secret
When Iacopo was about 20, Da Vigo Commerce got into financial trouble when the confluence of a series of forest fires and missing ships led to a number of insurance payouts that would have bankrupted the company. Elena sent Iacopo to Port Damali to try to talk the banks there into opening new lines of credit for Da Vigo Commerce. While there, he made the acquaintance of a pirate named Zeno and agreed to fence stolen shipments under the Da Vigo name. At one of the transfers, they were stopped by a member of the Zhelezo. Iacopo put him to sleep and then, to his surprise, Zeno cut the guard’s throat. He has remained terrified anyone might find out ever since.
