Bio:
Duke was the youngest son of a merchant family, his family was comfortable in their life, neither rich nor poor and they lived a simple life but Duke always felt different, like there was more to see and do in the world then the selling other people's wares. When he was sixteen he met George when the boy was stealing some bread from a market stall, Duke chased the thief down intent on turning him in to the guards but when he followed George into the slums of the city and watched as the boy broke up the bread giving it out to poor huddled children with a gentleness Duke couldn't turn him in anymore. The merchant's son watched as the one loaf of bread was broken up into small morsels that could never be counted as a meal and so Duke ran back to his father's stall in the marketplace, asking his father for money for some food he went and bought up two more loafs of bread before hurrying back to slums where he had followed George, offering the young body the loaves he also gave him the remaining money he had. From that day on Duke spent the next year sneaking off and meeting up with George, learning more about the young boy and the adventures he found in the town Duke had found so boring. After a year George told Duke that he had to leave and take his brother to another town, explaining that the town guards were getting suspicious of them and so they parted ways. Years later when Duke was eighteen he left his families home in search of adventure of his own, unsure of what he wanted to do with his life, seeking a meaning to his life, he found himself stumbling upon George once more, the young boys energy and kindness was infectious and Duke spent the next few years moving between towns and adventures, bumping into George frequently until the boy got his ship and offered Duke a place on his crew. Since then Duke had never looked back.
