Ruinous Prince that is what Kanaas was marked as by the Gypsies of his old Home. And rightly so named he was for he brought sorrow and ruin whereever he did tread upon the ground. Both with no Soul and of Gypsy Blood, cursed with Gyspy Sight and a Dark spirit. Father was a rich Noble of the Land, Mother a servent Girl her blood was Half-Gypsy. Forced each night into the bed of the Nobleman, because of her beauty. Ravaged and beaten while in the Man's bed.
Knowing the signs after three months, the young girl just turned 18, the Half-Gypsy, Illiana, fled from her cruel master. And he and his men pursued her and the unborn baby growing in her womb. For you see the Nobleman, Ludwig Von Kanaas had two sons and a wife. The birth of a bastard child of Gypsy blood would ruin him. But escaped she did with child in her belly, to another land called Dementlieu. Here Illiana upon founding a Convent of the Goddess Ezra, stayed in hiding.
Six months after she arrived, Illiana had a son, upon a dark and stormy night, the Moon dark an Ill omen indeed. But little Simon was such a lovely and adorable baby nothing was thought of it. The Mother died in childbirth and Simon grew up, at first he was a good boy. That is until he started to torture and kill small animals, by the age of six. By age Ten he was playing mean tricks on the other children at the Covent's orphange. Though they would make fun of his Gypsy Blood, this would make him more infuriated.
The last straw was when he was twelve, and killed a little girl, aged only nine, she had stolen as a playful game Simon's mother's cameo brooch. Bashed little Talia's head in with a rock, blood spattred on the Cameo. The Women of the Convent saw Simon, rock in hand standing over Talia's cooling body, bleeding from her head. As they approached he fled, Fate it seemed was kind to him, for Simon found his way back to his father's Homeland, neighboring Lamordia.
On the streets of Ludendoft, Lamordia's capital, Simon became a begger and a thief. Getting in with a small gang of other street urchins, and bullying them by age thirteen. He became leader of the Shadow Rats as they were called, known for stealing from wealthy people on both street and in home. Breaking legs and accidents caused by the older boys. All this changed when in a few years, now sixteen Simon and his gang of thirty were contacted by none other then Simon's own father, Ludwig. He wanted Simon's gang to help him deal with a few of the other Nobles. In order to gang more power and land. Paid a hefty sum of gold, Simon and his gang over the next six months arranged for "accidents" and missing people.
Blackmail too was used in this deadly game played, but never did anyone suspect Simon, his boys now in their teens and all loyal to Simon. Nor did anyone suspect Ludwig, but the thing was, Simon and his boys kept tabes on Simon. For you see there was one other item Simon had, his mother stole a small portrait of Ludwig before Simon was born. Her way of revenge, for the Child to punish the Father for his Sins. And in time, Simon would collect on his Father's debt. For now, Simon would bide his time and watch and wait. Plotting against his own father and half brothers, to take what was rightfully his Birthright.
