Every Journey Starts Somewhere

Life, Career

Ager wanders out into the world as a glaive. He doesn't share much about his past, such as details of his family or home. Those who get to know him better wonder how such a young man became such a deadly fighter.

At first, Ager had trouble making friends or keeping travelling companions around. Most claimed he was a bad omen, unlucky, or just cursed with not enough sense.   Ruins that should be empty would have a rare and dangerous creature sleeping within. Powerful numenera would activate at his touch, though somehow always acompanied by a glimmer of how to use the device. A well-traveled road would be unpassable for strange reasons.   In one somewhat famous instance, a deep trench opened in the road in front of Ager's group right after he proclaimed "I'm actually quite lucky, you know!"   Despite evidence to the contrary, it turns out in this instance Ager was correct. As the group attempted to find their way around the new obstacle, they found several containers that had been uncovered. Within them were several cyphers, shins, and some data crystals with plans for powerful numenera.   However, this luck had it's downsides. When something bad happened, more often than not something good would happen to offset it. The flip side also happened to be true; something great would often be shadowed by something horrible. It's the reason Ager spent so much time wandering as a solitary glaive. Unwilling to put others at risk due to his strange luck, he tried to ensure he was the only one that would suffer from the darker side of his gift.   This is how things would be for much of Ager's life.
