Dom is a worldly man who has managed to carve out a path for himself despite his humble origins: He has traveled throughout the Duchy, studied under the tutelage of monks at one of the finest monasteries, and has also served as a soldier in the Great Alliance War.

If he had to make a list to sum up his life at the moment, it would look something like this: 1. He was one of six in a group of thieves, and a good one at that. 2.
