History

But during the Battle of Icewind Dale, in the, Akar Kessell's army surrounded and then occupied Targos. While many citizens were frightened into hiding, Pilot's father, a man known as the Old Scout, and three trusted comrades carried out guerrilla strikes on Kessell's forces. In retaliation, Kessell took Pilot's mother hostage and her husband was forced to surrender. They were both killed as an example to the town, leaving Pilot orphaned before the occupation was ended.
