Bjorn Lynk was born into a family of sailors and grew up in the port town of Westgate. From a young age, he had a natural talent for sailing and quickly became known as one of the best navigators in the region. When he was old enough, Bjorn joined the crew of The Maelstrom, a privateer ship captained by Vurgrom "the Mighty."

He quickly gained a reputation as a skilled sailor and a cunning strategist, and his connections with the local thieves' guild allowed him to stay informed about the comings and goings of ships in the area.
