Personal history

Born in a small town on the Sword Coast, Jarvis became a town guard at a young age. In his late teens he was employed by a traveling merchant as a caravan guard and after a few years became the merchant's go-to caravan captain. Like many young people with a taste for the thrill of adventure, Jarvis was never satisfied with the challenges presented to him. He began pushing for appointment to caravans that traveled farther and farther East into the wilder portions of Faerun, testing his blade against more bloodthirsty foes and his wit against more diverse situations. After much success traveling the wilder edges of the Sword Coast, Jarvis sustained a grievous injury to his leg outside the small border town of Tradefront. The people of Tradefront, an eclectic bunch, repaired Jarvis's leg and nursed him back to health over the course of several months. Jarvis's career as front-line combatant was over due to his new limp, so the motley crew of Tradefront became his new family and his new adventure. Jarvis began using his experience as a caravan guard and captain, and the myriad skills of the people of Tradefront, to make the town a better and safer place. With the help of Captain Jarvis, Tradefront became the haven of adventurers that it is today.
