Along with the countless family members the Saturday family were known as powerful criminals. Raised with high expectations Samuel was trained in all manner of criminal activity to find his prowess and make his wealth among.
When Samuel came of age he was allowed to make his first offering to the Bloody Coin, offering most of his wealth he gained a stronger body and constitution and ability to withstand many poisons, though in truth all he told his family was his increased physical prowess. It was shortly thereafter that a faction within the family had begun to question their purpose. To some they believed that the family itself could better use their powers for the Halfing race instead of selfishly keeping their abilities to themselves. This faction grew among the younger idealistic members of the Saturday family who had grown up among the wealth and excess as well as seen the criminal acts that the family had to do to keep power. Some came to turn Samuel but he stayed loyal to the family, turning the dissidents over to his mother.
But eventually a coup was thrown as the inner circle of the family were poisoned by Samuel's sister Kalisa, luckily Samuel was immune to the effects though he put on a good act for his sister. Before the traitorous sibling could claim the family's artifact Samuel had escaped into the depths of the Saturday family mansion and stole the Bloody Coin. With the coin in his hands he quickly rallied the loyal members of the family and ended the coup. Samuel spent a lot of gold and much of the good will the family had made to end the civil war among within the ranks of the family. In the end he offered the remaining dissidents a choice of exile as he sold off most of the families land and resources and chose to leave their ancestral home for Forbuho.
While in Forbuho he used the family's remaining wealth and power to take over the city and start anew. Within several years the Saturday family had gone from destitute crooks to rich and corrupt politicians.
