Vicente Anbrosio
Vicente Anbrosio is a young man who used to serve as the deputy of Aldeia de Raiz before he was embroiled in a scandal revolving around the death of a fellow citizen named Jose Sujeira. Since then, Vicente has fled the village and his whereabout remain unknown.
Personal Life
Vicente was born in the village of Espiga to pair of poor farmers. His mother died during a difficult birth, as both mother and child were deeply malnourished. Vicente's father was never shy about displaying his disdain for the boy he claimed murdered his beloved, and often abused, neglected and starved Vicente just to watch him suffer.
Orphaned when he was only 13, after his father died in his sleep, the head of the Família do Corvinho arranged for Vicente to be taken in by a family in the nearby village of Raiz, where he entered into an apprenticeship with the constable Margarida Gomez. He lived with this adoptive family for three years before taking a permanent position as village deputy and moved into his own private quarters.
As an individual, Vicent was known to be brash, rude and upsetting - mocking those he found fault with and making advances on young women he fancied regardless of their consent. Most everyone in town knew he was an alcoholic and gave him more grace than he deserved, as he would typically apologize the next day.
Scandal
One night in AC'200, a citizen was found dead in the village square and Vicente quickly became one of the prime suspects. The Murder of Jose Sujeira was being investigated by a group of outsiders who had arrived in the company of The Lord of the Land, and they immediately connected him with a motive and means to murder the man.
Though he was later exonerated of the murder, during the course of the investigation, it was discovered that Vicente had been a worshiper of The Mycelial Thread, a secretive cult that operates in the shadows. While not technically illegal, the investigators believed that Vicente was acting as an operative in some malicious business through his connection to the Thread and sought to further question the man.
When they returned to find his cell was empty, the group pursued the disgraced deputy into The Outlands where he was eventually captured while having an audience with The Emissaries of the Thread.
Redemption
Having been the group's captive for such a prolonged period, the lot slowly became accustomed to each other. When the Emissary Shadrach fled combat through an arcane passage, Vicente offered his insight from one raised inside the cult: those who take the oath of the Emissary are able to traverse a hidden network of mycelial roots known as the Thread. Shadrack had taken such a pathway to a chamber detailed in the Excerpts from the Diary of Gustavo Corvinho - an unreachable cell likely housing the fabled high priest Nebuchadrezzar and his son Tristan of the Família do Corvinho.
Though the group had decided to find a way to take the vows to become emissaries themselves to better destroy the dark cult from within, fate presented a different path when The Bastards of Light confronted the group about ascending to their true destiny - the saviors of Mag Duinn. To Vicente's dismay, he was a part of the prophecy foretold by the goddess Zell who told of seven heroes reborn in the light who would cleanse the realm of a mounting darkness.
Since Elgor Silvershadow pulled the sunblade from the chest of the Daas the Bastard, the seven were bound as partners in this task and have travelled together as equals in pursuit of this goal.
