Ov Vanu Mellik (the seiches)

• From one of the nomadic Tamasheq Vahnu around Kel Azjer
• Knew parents
• Born while his tribe was roaming the desert as nomads, during a violent sandstorm
• Oldest of two, younger brother, Kithan
• Family lived comfortably, particularly when in Kel Azjer, though maintained only a modest traveling tent when in the desert to keep up the Tamasheq appearance of being only nomads
• Happy childhood, made friends easily; people like to talk to him
• Learned to cook from his father, who owned a tavern in Kel Azjer
• Grew rebellious as a teenager, left family to study druid magic after meeting a mysterious Circle of Sand druid at his father's tavern.
• Adventured together. Named Parlina. She was a few years older, quite powerful, and he fell in love.
• Was badly injured by vampires. While he was recovering, he learned his mother had been killed while in the desert, by a monster at the center of another extreme sandstorm.
• Returned home briefly, but felt guilt at not being there for his mother, and eventually used the adventuring proceeds (and help from Parlina) to buy his own tavern in Zobeck, though in a bad area.

In midgard Lore, the Tamasheq pose as nomadic, poor desert dwellers to outsiders, but actually secretly have a thriving city in the northwest section of the Southlands, called Kel Azjer.

Essentially he has adventured a bit with as a hireling to a more powerful adventurer, fell in love with her, but had a parent pass under similar circumstances to his birth while he was recovering from adventure related injuries, so out of guilt he returned home to be an innkeeper, like his family. He was still too restless, and set out on his own, winding up in Zobeck,

Figure the previous adventures might explain the funds to have purchased The Southern Mirage, but I'll leave that to you, and what to do with the mysterious burning down of the tavern, whether this one or a previous one.

The character is essentially playing it safe by still being an innkeeper, despite his desire for adventure, due to guilt.
