Miedvied/Spinebreaker

Name: Spinebreaker

Spinebreaker never had a name. Born in the Amber Post (Manacle and Coin, pg 77) to a woman no more or less special than any other, he was the result of one night's casual cruelty - one of the Cesta family's younger sons chose to have his way with one of the slave women, and cast her away when he was done, not so much as bothering to let her wash herself of his seed before she was sent stumbling out of his quarters. The laughter of his guards chased her into the night.

Spinebreaker was born. Spinebreaker should have died the very same day, for newborns are useless for labor, and do not yet have the poignant desires and regrets that form such a delectable feast for the Fair Folk - not even the innocent dreams of youth. He was kept hidden from the guards, passed from woman to woman (mostly among the household slaves that kept watch on the guard's own children) until he was too old to remain hidden. It was then that he joined the others in bending to Arguin Cesta's whip, and eventually he was sold to a gladiator's arena in Nexus.
