History
Raegen was a Helmite member of the Gem Guards until she uncovered corruption withing the organizations' rank. This deeply disturbed her and shaken her belief in the faction's god, Helm. She examined her feelings and yearned Helm's guidance. After days of agonizing, she decided that justice was above all other loyalties. Raegen felt the sense of duty for the fellow members of the Guard who did not fall to corruption. She decided to expose the culprits to purify the Gem Guards. The Guards' dispatcher Cantos Riverhorn was the new member of the group who was unconcerned with rules and laws which let to the Guards' lax attitudes and unbecoming behaviors. One day Raegen found an anonymous note stuffed under her barracks' door. The note detailed the Guards' infiltration by the local thieves guild, the King's Tears. Raegen reported the intel to Cantos. In response, he pulled a document signed by a large group of guards that accused Raegen Brunegar of gem theft from the mines. She was arrested and sentenced to mine work alongside orc slaves and criminals. She was given the toughest treatment by the fellow guards as they saw her as nothing but a traitor.

The years after the events of the Gem Guards exposure, Raegen was still torn by feelings of guilt, what if she left the organization, instead of pursuing justice.

In 1372 DR, Raegen found herself in Daggerford looking for mercenary work. She ended up stranded in the city when the Griffons mercenary company closed the city off, preventing her from moving on to Waterdeep in search of more appropriate work. During that time, she was staying in the Happy Cow tavern. It was there, when she was approached by a group of adventurers working with Astriel Shalyn who were investigating the suspicious "death" of Duke Pwyll Daggerford and general unrest in the region. Raegen Brunegar agreed to join them due to lack of other work.
