I, Amber, was born in London, England in the year 1100. When I was two weeks old someone left me on the steps of the local orphanage that was run by the nuns. None of the sisters at the orphanage had seen whom had abandoned me.

I stayed there for seventeen years until the day the Mother Superior banished me because she believed that I was possessed by demons. When I left the orphanage I went to work at the local inn as a chambermaid. I had to flee my job at the inn because the innkeeper's wife accused me of plotting to run away with her husband, so I turned my back on everyone and became totally reliant on myself.

In order to survive, I took on various jobs. Cleaning horse stalls, cattle stalls, even pigpens. I also undertook some dishonest work when honest wasn't available. I spent a great deal of time on the waterfront where I met various people from all walks of life. Most of the men on the waterfront were thieves and cutthroats. Sometimes they would offer me work like cutting someone's throat or sabbing someone in the back. I found I had a gift for taking one's life without remorse.

I worked at killing for others for a couple of years. At the age of 21 I decided to go into business for myself, I had made quite a name for myself as an assassin.

I boarded a ship bound for France. The ship ran into a bad storm, I was tossed overboard. When I awoke on an island, I was in another time and place.

Maybe this time is better than my own time in London.

Hopefully my assassin skills will be helpful to someone in this time and place.
