Biography
Early life
The youngest among three siblings, Axel emerged as the final one to venture out from the family homestead. Prior to him, his brother had embarked on a path as a merchant, while his sister had carved her journey as an adventurer. For Axel himself, the aspiration to emulate his elder brother's footsteps ignited his passion. Thus, he set forth on his own odyssey, adopting the life of a roving merchant who traversed diverse towns, procuring goods for sale and crafting a livelihood through this trade.
Even from an early age, Axel displayed a knack for numbers and a persuasive eloquence—an attribute his father often referred to as a "silver tongue." He possessed an innate ability to articulate himself, skillfully extricating himself from the predicaments that his older siblings occasionally entangled him in. As his brother ventured into the bustling expanse of city life to pursue his merchant endeavors, Axel's intrigue deepened. His fascination burgeoned further upon hearing his sister's captivating tales of exploring dungeons and uncharted territories alongside her adventuring companions.
With his brother and sister as his guiding lights, Axel chose to amalgamate their diverse callings. This decision led him to embark on a unique path as a traveling merchant—one that harmonized his fervor for adventure and his admiration for the merchant's craft.
Traveling merchant
Embarking on his journey, Axel treaded the path laid by his elder brother, transitioning into a wandering merchant. Leveraging his gift of gab and natural charisma, he deftly engaged with people, amassing enough wealth to secure a life of comfort. This endeavor not only allowed him to sustain himself but also enabled him to extend financial aid to his family. This gesture served as both an expression of gratitude for their years of nurturing care and a token of appreciation.
During his travels, Axel's fate interwove with a significant discovery—a collection of ancient medicinal scripts. Captivated by this newfound knowledge, he experienced a compelling shift in his interests. A newfound fascination with medicine emerged, driven by an innate desire to contribute to the well-being of others. This transformative encounter set him on a path where his merchant skills and his newfound passion for medicine converged, creating a unique purpose fueled by compassion and a thirst for knowledge.
Becoming a doctor

This quest led him to the Commonwealth of Blackthorn, specifically Fort Khirom, where he found both his professional calling and a place to establish his residence. In this vibrant setting, he dedicated himself to his work while also embracing the sense of belonging that had eluded him for so long.
