Lore drop time!
So Yakkey, as I've mentioned before, is a genious genious, like even amongst asura, he's considered proper genious. Because of that he advanced in his studies faster and ended up in the College of Statics at a younger age than most. That, of course, attracted even more bullshittery than the typical sabotage and stealing so he had a Not Good Time ™. Of course there were exceptions, like Vrorrick, who saw Yakkey like one of his little siblings and became tentative friends with him over their time in college.
The moment Yakkey decided to leave Rata Sum for good was after his work and papers were stolen and used to create a bunch of sub-par prosthetics that caused more damage than good. He stayed just enough to fix all the damaged caused and then peaced out.
And Vrorrick, as a good friend and big brother, followed after him. Because Yakkey may be smart, but he's still a kid and not the most self-aware and self-preserving type either...
Now, one of the asura who had to have their prosthetic fixed quite drastically was Hinggi (her right leg. You can see the connection Yakkey uses between the body and the prosthetic). She was the daughter of a then-elected council member and, after having Yakkey fix her up and seeing him just leave Rata Sum, went and asked around why. And then got kind of pissed when she found out.
She had a huge fight with her mother regarding everything and then decided to go find Yakkey and formally apologize herself.
However, when she did find them in Lion's Arch a good while later, she thought the sight of them was quite pathetic (lmao) and she chastised them for being naïve and not being able to tell when they were being taken advantage of or led on, etc etc. So she, much to Yakkey's, at the time, dismay, stuck along with them.
As time passed and they travelled and lent their aide to those in need, both Hinggi and Vrorrick started referring to their little group as their krewe. Yakkey tried and failed to stop them, refusing to see it or accept that he was a krewe leader, but the other two didn't seem to care one bit.
And later, when Yakkey received an invitation to join the ranks of the Durmand Priory, all three joined together!
