Miguel grew up amongst luxuries, his family owning, through straw-men and other contacts, several businesses around the wealthy dock-city of Chynllau. The family fortune had been secured by Miguel’s great-grandfather, who was a gem-cutter, but later came to own a workshop. Through a number of schemes and crafty business plans, Miguel (I) established a smaller emporium over the trade of gemstones.
The de Pechão house-hold was seat of many meetings, both with other merchants and nobles, but also with ship captains, mercenaries and other less pleasant types. If something could used to the family’s favor, it almost certainly would, and any threat towards the family or their businesses, had a tendency of disappearing and not be seen again. This dubious craftsmanship continued under Miguel (II), who established a personal bodyguard, as well constructing a vault for holding wealth for emergency needs.
Miguel’s father, Miguel (III), started to cut off the more dubious parts of the business, focusing more on his family and estate on the outskirts of Chynllau. Miguel (III) taught his son, Miguel, the wrong-doings of his forefathers, but also ensured his son to be proud of his heritage.
Miguel (IV) learned from personal teachers the basics of running finances and being an upstanding citizen. In his teens, Miguel pursued a love-interest, but was shot down, with the point being that he was “too boring”. The easily-influenced Miguel took that to heart, and decided to become that which he found most exciting at the time; a user of magic. Spending a significant amount of wealth and favors on not only books, but also remedies and artefacts, Miguel was studious and ambitious, his primary teacher, an elderly Elven woman, had praised him for being a quick-learner. Her main ideal was to use magic for the sake of fending for one self, as such the School of Abjuration was her prized subject.
At age 18, Miguel was technically supposed to be made ready to take over, but to his father Miguel’s surprise, Miguel handed that mantle to his twin-sister, Luisa. Miguel asked to travel the world, on one of the family ships out of the port. And so, the next week, after making a few preparations, Miguel set out on the seas to find love, knowledge, wealth and favors.
