A summary of their history would be...
Much of Loki’s past is shrouded in mystery and speculation. At the age of thirteen he was adopted by a wealthy Valtrennan widow. The woman was a descendent of a long line of specialized assassins and had no heirs to carry on her legacy. There are rumors that Loki is the child of the woman’s greatest rival and was taken upon her adversary’s death. It is also speculated that Loki was a skillful assassin at a young age and failed to eliminate the widow and upon seeing his skill she decided to adopt him rather than eliminate him. Many say the widow attempted to use some ancient, demonic magical relic to resurrect her deceased lover and Loki was summoned in his place. Other reports say that she found him in the wild roaming and conversing with beast. There are numerous other speculations and theories floating around the world, but the truth is only known between the two of them. Whatever the reason she gave him the name her fathers name and began training him to become a loyal assassin for Valtrenna.
Loki quickly adapted to the assassin lifestyle. Stealth, secrecy, deception, manipulation, and many other aspects came to him like second nature. He was the perfect assassin and legacy for the widow to leave except one major flaw. His nonchalant attitudes, lack of respect for authority, and carefree actions often put his loyalty into questions. His lack of ambition and patriotism caused many of the nobles to doubt his allegiance. One specific noble spoke out heavily against Loki and the widow that took him in. The noble berated the widow’s lineage claiming that she tainted her great name by bestowing it to Loki. The noble new his actions would put his life at risk and hired thirty of the best knights in the kingdom to protect him. The next day the noble was found poisoned in his bedroom with his throat slit and mouth sewn shut. Everyone knew who the prime suspects were, but their alibis were iron clad. Many sources say they saw the silhouette of Loki dancing around the noble’s estate that night. The king and several members of his court saw him at the castle at the exact same time of the noble’s death. While the entire kingdom knew Loki assassinated the noble with the king and have of the court as alibi witnesses nothing could be proven. This incident garnered him the nickname of the Ghost by several of the locals. As he grew older and others watched his unorthodox fighting style his alias of the Ghost became the Dancing Ghost.
As he grew older he served the kingdom by gathering information and performing various tasks to ensure the nations longevity. While the majority of these task were manipulation, sabotage, and the collection of information he would always freelance the occasional assassination contract. He always appeared to travel unarmed, never carrying a weapon. Yet when he engaged in a fight he produced small throwing blades from seemingly out of nowhere. His ability to conceal these blades in the most inconspicuous spots earned him the moniker of the Hidden Blade. Even though he has performed outstanding feats for the Kingdom he is not trusted by many of those in authority. This is primarily due to his carefree nature and lack of respect for authority and tradition. He rarely follows orders that do not peak his curiosity or interest.
