Born and raised by a poor family. His mother being an inn servant, who did what she needed to feed the family. Even steal if necessary. With his father being a sailor and would often be gone for long times. So his mother usually had to take care of the family while he was gone. Learning how to use a knife to be able to defend herself against others. Stellwint was the youngest of his family. A family that lived on the island of Aberdeen. His father sailing for the Breaktide fleet. As he started to grow his father became the captain of his own ship and his two siblings would join on that ship soon enough. His sister, the oldest of the three children being a stealthy person. As well as good with handling maps and weapons. Both melee and ranged. His brother, and the middle child, being the ships repairman. The shipwright in other words.
While growing up he did enjoy the stories of the sea. As well as being with his mother and learning from her. Looking up to her and how skillful she was. But he still was like the rest and would find the sea the best place. Learning to handle himself quite well and learning from his siblings. Though he prefere the navigation first and foremost. Reaching his teens he would often be found on smaller convoy ships that traveled between docks around the island.Born and raised by a poor family.

Stellwint would not follow in the footsteps of his father and siblings though. At least not fully. As one mission they were sent on they never returned from. Their ship sinking and they were not found. Others did be found washed ashore at different places. His father being seen to have been dead. But his siblings never were found. While it saddened Stellwint and his mother it would not be that which made him angry and not joining the fleet. It would be the mission itself. A small fleet of ships having been sent out to distract and try to get to the enemy and lure them. It worked but not without most being killed on those boats. Which Stellwint could not agree with. Even if it perhaps wasn't on purpose that they were sent on a suicide mission it is still what Stellwint felt.
Seeing as his mother did whatever she had to he wasn't too worried about criminal things. Still wanting to be at sea he did soon enough join in a ship of mercenaries. Or as they would later be known as, pirates. Learning a lot from it and being the navigator of the ship. Though having quite the multitude of skills he did help out with a lot of things.
For a long time Stellwint would travel with the ship known as The Purger, along with the greenskin pirates. Which came from them wanting to impose on people by their clothing as well as using moss and mud. Both for disguise as well as intimidation. After some time Stellwint would be the right hand man to the captain. Even though several thought that he should had been the captain after the previous one died he never thought so. Respecting the one that did become the captain. A friend of his for quite a long time.
Together the crew of the Purger traveled the still sea. While indeed trying to get money and plunder. Most often it would be from noble ships. In the end thee ship would meet a bitter end though.
It would take quite some time and have given Stellwint a lot of experience but at some point the ship would be more or less destroyed. The survivors splitting up. Most trying to hide. Stellwint and the captain found a smaller ship though. Continuing with a new crew. Although now going back to be known as mercenaries. Although there would be rewards for finding the important people of the remainders of the Greenskin pirates. Which would mainly be the captain, Red Rik. The Ogre, who dealt with the attack and plunder. And finally Stellwint the Damned. A name he got from the way he dealt with some enemies. Leaving them for the noble fleets to find. Often hung or in other fashion executed and waiting.
Due to still being hunted a lot of people were looking for them and in the end they were found. Red Rik being killed and their new ship sunk. Stellwint presumed dead as well. Disappearing and letting his hair grow out. The navigation skills along with the weapon skills he has were hidden. Becoming a shipwright for the craftmen's guild. Becoming known as Stellwint the wanderer. Seeing as the ship was sunk far in the west and Stellwint showed up in the east, at Laketown, not a lot of people assumed it would be one of the same. Especially since he is not the only one named Stellwint in the world. And not many did know how he looked due to the moss and mud that they wore. Along with the clothing.
He still has his dual swords with him though. Sanguine & Talamir. Having stories about them both. If any of them are true or not can be discussed. Most likely, they are lies. Saying that Sanguine once belonged to an old prince of the sea a very long time ago. Said to have used the blade to kill a Kraken. While Talamir is said to be crafted from the claw of a Roc.
