History: Xasshasis was born on a small boat floating in the Timorous Deep. His mother died in birth. The boat floated onto a small island, where a single Sarnak resided. The Sarnak took Xasshasis and raised him, teaching him how to swim, fish, and some basic combat. The reasoning behind this is currently unknown.
At 15 years of age, an underwater dwelling race attacked the island. The Sarnak put Xasshasis into the boat he had arrived on and set him back out to sea, attempting to fight the sea-dwellers himself. Xasshasis spent a week at sea, caught up in currents and storms. A Far Seas Trading Company ship found him floating in the water with the broken boat, picked him up, and took him to the Isle of Refuge.
On the Isle, Xasshasis was used by several "softskins" to advance their own purposes. His unease around them turned to distaste, and Xasshasis abandoned the outpost, spending nearly a month on the Isle using only his body and his wits to survive. During this time he developed his preferred style of combat, Fist and Tail, as he called it. (This is not to be confused with the Swifttail style called Fist and Tail. Although they share the same name, Xasshasis is not a Swifttail Monk, and his style differs greatly. He uses the name Fist and Tail only because that's what he uses to fight.) He eventually made his way back to the outpost, and was quickly recruited by an emissary from Freeport.
When he disembarked at the Scale Yard, the captain of the ship gave him a package that was found amongst the debris of the boat he had been floating with when he was picked up. Inside was a letter from his mother and a painting. These two items would start Xasshasis down a path of research and discovery, a search for information on his namesake, an Iksar from 500 years ago who abandoned his own people. A search for a heritage he did not understand.
