Personal history

Xavier Carrell was born Lucien Stano. His parents were both seamstresses in Waterdeep. His mother Shionne had always wanted to be a dancer and so Lucien's other mother Ursula hand carved a little wooden doll for one of their anniversaries. The little doll depicted Shionne as a dancer and it became one of her most prized possessions.
 
When Lucien was eight a plague swept through their neighborhood. Lucien managed to avoid the sickness but his parents were not so lucky. They both died after a week of sickness. On her deathbed Shionne gave Lucien the little wooden doll, a memento of both his mothers and how much they loved him and each other.
 
With both his parents dead and with no close relatives to take him in Lucien became an orphan on the streets. He lived this life for three years, learning how steal and to survive. His wooden doll was his most treasured possession, even if often it was his only one. He kept it on his person at all times. At one point during his time in the streets the Witchlight Carnival set up near Waterdeep. Lucien's mothers had always promised to take him there when next it came around. Lucien was determined to go. He had no money of his own and so could not afford an ticket. Instead he snuck in a side entrance. He stayed for a few hours before he had to leave or risk getting caught and it was not until the next day, after the carnival had already left, that Lucien realized his wooden doll was missing. He was inconsolable for several days after, and even still feels its loss keenly.
 
One day he and the small group of other children he had been living with were taken from the streets by one of the city's guilds. It was called the Archivist's Guild but in reality Lucien and his friends had been taken by a spy guild. The guild to orphans and young children no one would miss off of the street and trained to be spies for the guild. Agents of the guild would be sent out on assignments of varying length and send everything they learned back to the guild. People who were wealthy enough could come to the guild hall to purchase information at a hefty fee.
 
The training was brutal, and many of the children who were brought in with Lucien did not survive. Luckily Lucien discovered that he had a knack for the work. His instructors were especially pleased when it was discovered that Lucien had particularly powerful psychic abilities that could be used to augment his other abilities or be manifested physically.
 
As the years passed Lucien managed to find a certain amount of enjoyment in his work but only grew to resent the guild and they way they controlled the lives of everyone working under their leadership.
 
Lucien's most recent assignment was a long term operation undercover as a courtier named Xavier Carrell for the Cassalanter family. After several years on this assignment the Witchlight Carnival came back and unlike the other times it had come since his childhood Xavier had enough freedom to go to the carnival. He sets out towards it with the desperate hope that he might somehow be able to find his wooden doll.
