Please meet Honesty Spindle (previously of Spindlewood) when his name was still accurate and he couldn’t help falling in love with every boy, girl, and non-binary person who smiled at him.
The adopted son of a tiefling travelling merchant named Laurel Spindle, he honed his charm on their journeys across the country until they finally settled down in the big city. There, he met Dirt, a young elf thief. Spindle always had a streak of mischief in his blood and so, to help out his father, he worked with her to steal trinkets and odd ends to sell in the shop.
Until, one day, Spindle returned home to find the shop destroyed, Laurel missing, and a strange symbol carved into the wall.
Turns out, the road from shop boy to conman extraordinaire (wanted in several towns under the names Ernest Skulduggery and Sincerity Lysmith) is far shorter than you’d think.
