Personal history

While other street kids start out their lives as orphans Bolger was both lucky and unlucky enough to begin in a loving but poor home. Never knowing his father Bolger and his mother tried to make their way in life till her untimely death. Bolger did not make friends with the other street children and as the young boy became desperate he joined the town militia. The militia's numbers were so few that they put up dummies and took a street urchin like Bolger to pad their numbers. The militia became known as the Scarecrows as both were about the same in effectiveness. When the border town was in real danger it was not the scarecrows but adventurers who had kept the town safe. Several times young Bolger tried to join a band of adventurers and each time he was promptly rejected.
As the town grew so too did the militia and Bolger now a young man had risen only if in seniority if not experience. That experience was put to a test when an army of zombies swept across the land. Bolger and the Scarecrows defend the people of the town while they fled to the town fort. While they guarded the forta band of adventurers fought the necromancer managing to save the day though the town.
With the town destroyed by the army of dead Bolger had lost his job. The remaining militia now had experience and along with Bolger began working as mercenaries for hire. As he grew Bolger and the Scarecrow Mercenaries began to make a name for themselves. With many of his friends dying on the battlefield, retiring due to injury, or leaving before they could suffer the same fate Bolger became the most experienced and highest ranked Scarecrow at the age of forty-five. In the five years under his control Bolger has made the Scarecrows one of the most proficient and well known mercenary bands today.
Bolger questions weather he should retire but at this point he has lived most of his life as a Scarecrow and does not know any other life.
