Obid Gentulli, Chelaxian merchant
Corrath el-Karam was born the 5th child to a poor family in the newly formed Kingdom of Kwanlai on the Eastern shores of Tian Xia. Lacking resources to raise a large family, Corrath was sold into bonded servitude to a ship's surgeon as soon as he was old enough.
His early years on the Jamuna were a trial for Corrath. He showed little aptitude for the healing arts, which caused friction between him and his mentor Skrieth, but eventually he did shine in his ability to mix tinctures and unguents. This set the foundation for his skills at alchemy and earned him his place on the Jamuna. In time the captain of the Jamuna gained enough money to buy charts for oceans to the far West and set out to establish trade routes between the nations of the Obari Ocean. Seaking fame and wealth he spent years plying the sea lanes farther and farther West.
Eventually disaster struck the Jamuna. While sailing in the Northern reaches of the Obari ocean she came under attack and was captured by slavers sailing out of the Shackles. Much of her crew were captured, including Corrath. He was clever, adept at language, and had a valuable skill so he was sold quickly and spent a time being traded from one owner to another. Eventually Corrath found himself in the service of a Chelaxian merchant who used him as a translator and bookkeeper. This new owner's travels took him frequently to the Varsian port of Magnimar. On one such trip Corrath seized an opportunity to flee his captivity and finally gained his freedom. He fled East to Sandpoint where he felt safe enough to settle down. Sandpoint, being a town with many mysteries, appealed to Corrath and he set out to start a career as an Investigator to earn both fame and fortune in this new land.
