Alaeros had to live with his cruel uncle, Orn Margaster, who convinced him that his parents never wanted have him.

The Margaster family, as a whole, was in fact in great trouble. The noble house had financially indebted itself to the Zhentarim making it more problem then honor to be a family member. The head of the Waterdhavian branch of the family was greatly ill during Alauros youth, and his family fell to infighting to claim what little could be salvaged of their birthright.

In the midst of this turmoil, Alaeros was left to fend for himself. At the age of 15 he began service in the local militia. This is where he first learned to fight with a sword. His commanders His great physical stature and quick thinking led him to become a formidable warrior. His commanders disliked him for his noble heritage, and made life difficult for him. The warrior did not let this faze him which only infuriated his tormenters. The commanders planted false evidence of stealing to discredit him, ultimately getting him kicked out of military service.

His dishonorable discharge embarrassed his family in Neverwinter, who told him to go live with the Waterdhavian branch of the family. In defiance of his families wishes he instead to up mercenary work along the Sword Coast. He chose to style himself as a rural Northman without any hint of his aristocratic heritage.

During one of his exploits, he and a companion had to escape a band of goblins. The companion fell in battle, and Alaeros’ sword broke after he fell from a great height. While hiding from the goblins, he discovered an ax notched in an old tree. Removing the weapon caused the “tree” to wake up. It was in fact a treant. The treant helped Alaeros defeat the goblins and escape the forest. Not long afterward, he saved three travelers from a monster using his new found ax, which he named “Chopper”. One of these travelers knew Alaeros from the warriors childhood. In fact, the traveler was the Lords’ Alliance agent who had rescued him from slavery. Alaeros prowess was noted by the agent who invited the fighter to become an agent of the Alliance, namely for the city of Neverwinter.
