History:

1. Brigands attacked his family. He finds it hard to break laws because of the relationship this gave him with the law.

2. He is related to Marduk, the mayor who discarded the gods.

3. His friend was falsely convicted, so he thinks dimly of authorities, and may suspect them of anti-human racism.

4. He showed skill as an artisan and was praised for it, so he has continued in this art.
