Rebel Graves

Rebel Graves (a.k.a. Silas McQuade)

Unsure of where he was born, Rebel grew up in Everwell as an urchin, unsure of his parents, only knowing that one of them was an Elf because of the slight point to his ears and his maintaining of a youthful look as he aged. Stealing and conning to make his living for the majority of his life, Rebel has used his wit, but more importantly, his charm to get out of tight spots. He was physically abused quite frequently in his youth, as an urchin had no real value to most people beyond a punching bag, leaving him covered in small scars across a lot of his body. He frequents taverns and brothels, partly because he wants to live life as if there's no tomorrow, because tomorrow is not guaranteed. Also, partly because he has a hard time with forming meaningful relationships because of his abandonment issues and the lifestyle that he was forced into by growing up.
Two exceptions to that are Saphi & Solaste Dariva, a lesbian couple that he befriended while they worked at a high-end brothel. As they spent more time together, and he continued to visit them at the brothel, they became closer, eventually almost welcoming him as family. The couple wished to start a family, and over the years, they've spent nights with Rebel in order to have that family. While they did not wish for Rebel to be a parent, desiring that for themselves, they did have Rebel around frequently, so he knows his children, but they're unaware that he is their biological father.
Rebel has ran many con job through the city, as well as on his travels around Prosi, though he's never been particularly malicious with what he's done, he's crossed a lot of wealthy people, taking their coin as his own and spending it on the luxuries of life. He has had a noted history of swindling governmental officials, since most of their money was not really their money anyhow. Many of his cons have been ran under his alias, Silas McQuade, although his real name sounds more like an alias. The joys of not knowing your family did have it's benefits, such as nobody to answers to and choosing a name befitting of one's lifestyle.
Since he's got such an unconventional relationship with Saphi & Solaste, and that's the closest thing to real intimacy he's ever known, Rebel has found himself with a long list of ex lovers that he's had no attachment to, as, despite his overly charming ways, he is afraid of becoming attached and becoming rejected, so he detaches and rejects before it can be done to him as a coping mechanism. He is slow to trust, and slower to befriend because of this as well.
He has joined the Bahir Company alongside Ollara at Saphi & Solaste's request in an attempt to make sure that she would be safe, but he found that he has quite a knack for using his particular skills to benefit the group that they were put in, so he has decided to stay around since he's started the bonds of some friendships, something he has not really had much of in his life.
