Cuauhtemoc Ahua

"New experience means new chance to learn."

- Cuauhtemoc

Physical Traits
Physically unimpressive, Temo is an average height with thin, ropy muscles and tanned, leathery skin. His weak physical strength is offset by his fluid, dexterous movements and keen mind.

Equipment
His weapons of choice in his old life were a bow and whip. Since being a more civilized member of "society" he has adopted some more conventional armaments in the form of scale mail and a rapier but could never give up his old habits.

Past
Temo was born in the jungles of Far Payit to a primitive band of humans that are part of a larger group known as the Itzas. His people were once numerous and strong but for thousands of years have grown weaker and weaker, their numbers being limited to only a few 100 now. They cling to tradition and ask for the gods to help them but Temo wasn't interested in waiting and instead stole a ship and left his home.

He spent nearly 2 years alone, surviving off of the Sea of Swords and occasional landfall until eventually an unlucky storm destroyed his possessions and nearly killed him.

While floating unconscious in the sea, he was picked up by a whaler known as the Tenement Vessel which was captained and mostly crewed by a family of halflings, some 150 strong. He lived and worked with them for many years, becoming friends with many of them and even falling for a girl who taught him to speak their languages and helped him appreciate the world outside of his primitive roots.

As things tend to do, Temo's world was upset when he discovered that many of the whalers had used the ship as a front for smuggling. While not offended by the idea of criminal activity, Temo was never treated as an asset and was instead branded a liability. After several months of tense relation, the errant halflings, led by a man named Milo Cairnhome, attempted to murder him by slitting his throat in the night and tossing him overboard.

This time Temo awoke on the shores of the Sword Coast. His attackers were not experienced killers and hadn't managed to inflict the damage they thought they did. Temo wandered until he found civilization in the form on the town of Baldur's Gate where he has been ever since. He found that his appearance as well as his obvious foreignness made many underestimate his competence and, knowing quite a lot about smuggling, found himself sitting near the city's underbelly quite often.

Temo considers the ocean his real home but has been unable to find the strength to return there, instead opting for the land and the ability to put your back to a wall.
