Personal history
Halflings are usually very lucky folk. However, Sergio Presto was far from lucky. Presto was born in 474 in a Seredenian forest hut to a family of halflings. Life was simple and easy-going for them until that day hit. When a group of mages camped out near Presto's family's land, he decided to do some investigation. Before he could sneak out though, his parents went out to greet these wandering outsiders, hoping to invite them in for supper or tea.
As the mages were brought into the cramped hut for a meal, things went downhill very quickly. Hold Person spells were quickly casted on Presto's parents and his siblings were violently wrangled and knocked out. Presto, being outside at the time, ran in to see the situation. He barely managed to duck from a firebolt that was launched at him. Knowing he had no chance against the mages and hearing his mother say "run" to him, he dashed out of the forest as quickly as his halfling legs could take him.
Presto, after several days of living on the run and hitch-hiking, he found himself in Sordera City. Presto took up a low-paying job as a bartender at an inn. At age 19, he was already working in the urban city. Life was very difficult and no amount of his halfling luck could make his life better. And then fate threw him a bone.
Presto saw a small group of armed individuals stroll into the tavern. Thinking that they were robbers, he quickly picked up a knife and threatened them to leave. However, the armed folks didn't seem to care and instead took a seat in front of him. Presto soon found himself talking to some of the folks, learning that they were mercenaries that go out to fight "unorthodox targets."
Presto soon found himself as a part of this mercenary group where he was taught several ways around a blade. He would soon meet his partner-in-crime, Howard Anton Marcos. Together, they would soon find themselves participating in the most monumental event of all: The Holy Grail War. Presto's will and determination was strong enough that his soul was deemed worthy to become a Grail servant. He was now charged with magical energy and a reinvigorated will to fight and show those cultists who he truly was.
Mental Trauma
Sergio Presto witnessed his family being violently attacked by a group of mages. He was never able to help them due to his lack of combative training and was forced to run. This left him with a major sense of guilt and sadness that clung onto him for quite some time.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Presto's main motivation to continue being part of the mercenary group and even fighting in the Holy Grail War under his companion Marcos mainly is due to him wanting to vindicate himself from his guilt of inaction during that fateful day.
