Education

His father laid out a bunch of weapons on the floor when Andrius was a child, only weeks after he had finally learned to crawl. Instead of going for the weapons, Andrius went to his mother’s music box, opened it, and listened to the music coming from it. His father thought that meant that Andrius was too young and that they should try again next year. His mother however had nearly had a heart attack when Andrius crawled over several sharp weapons to get at her music box, and decided that music would be Andrius’s weapon of choice. His father disagreed. His mother threatened to destroy his father’s anvil. His father brought home several learning instruments the next day.
His father had still held out hope that one day, Andrius would decide that blowing a whistle wasn’t for him. His mother retaliated by writing music pieces for Andrius to play and teaching him how to write his own - with help from local Bards - until his father eventually caved to the realization that his only son was going to be an entertainer.

Employment

Met some rich Elven fella who came to the bar Andrius used to play at back home for an extra penny and free drinks. They went out for a while, before Andrius moved when Rich Elven Fella needed to go back to his home for work & family. It didn’t take long after arriving in the town to realize that Rich Elven Fella literally had a family; a wife and a kid. There might have been some stabbing involved when Andrius left Rich Elven Fella behind. Which left him stranded in a strange town with strange people. Afterwards, Andrius started adventuring to pay the bills.

Accomplishments & Achievements

There might have been a small incident in the bar. One which might or might not have involved someone attempting to break someone else’s head over a pint of beer. Andrius might or might not have stolen said pint of beer for himself. The other guy might or might not have been a pissed off Barbarian who managed to drunkenly hit Andrius’s right horn with an axe, right near the base. Andrius might or might not have then used a whistle to make the Barbarian see stars before knocking him out, with some help from a chair to the back of the head.
Andrius’s father had been a very proud armorsmith, gladly taking Andrius’s horn while his mother was attempting to stem the bleeding head wound and hollowing it out. A few designs were added to the outside of the horn, and a couple of weeks later Andrius was the proud owner of a new instrument. The old whistle he had been using was immediately destroyed.
