== Early Life ==
Alekan Indrothath was the brother of Geraint Indrothath. Alekan was noted for generally being casualquite aloof, but would have unexpected periods of formality and seriousness.
 
Alekan and Geraint were the illegitimate children of Lord Yemel Indrothath, who became infamous for his corruption after his banishment from '''[[Bormar]]'''. The two brothers, of which Alekan was the oldest, were subject to Yemel's "teachings", which consisted of how to manipulate tradeothers and people, how to make money andoff friends as fast asof possiblethem.

Yemel, despite taking in his bastard children, was not a kind father, often yelling and verbally abusing his children in a drunken stupor. This, along with their talents as trained Dwarves-At-Arms, led to Alekan and Geraint later plying their martial skills as mercenaries in the Koreggi Mountains.

=== Becoming an Outlaw ===
At 32, Alekan and his brother fled Yemel's Manor after an inspection of the manor due to reports of illegal substances being smuggled through the area. The brothers travelled fartraveled through the wilderness, eventually coming upon the [[Koreggi Mountains|'''Koreggi Mountains''']] far toin the south of '''[[Bormar]]'''. Within this mountain- range, the brothers came across a band of '''[[Grol]]''' mercenaries, led by a Grol named Al Toko. The brothers exchanged knowledge of potential wealthy targets for protection and eventually both the Grol and the brothers grew to trust each other.
 
Following multiple years of successful business with the Grol, and one year before travelling to Zietal Mar, the brothers were contacted to assassinate a fairly wealthy '''[[Apothecary]]''' in the town of '''[[Mogen]]''', a short distance north of the Koreggi Mountains. The brothers accepted this mission and headed north. Under the cover of night they set alight the Apothecary's home, unintentionally causing the death of his wife and child.

== In Zietal Mar ==
Alekan arrived at a time when Zietal Mar was being threatened by the levels of Grol mercenaries on the island. After some time, Alekan's brother Geraint was killed in these conflicts, creating hatred in Alekan of the mercenaries. The All-Gem had been discovered by Zietal Mar's Governor '''[[Khestor Thidirlun]]''', and the traitorous actions of First Lord Voman Stoutheart forced the Dwarves to flee the island aboard their ship, ''The Cuckoo''. However, Alekan decided to stay behind and not give up the Outpost without a fight. He was joined only by Kogan Gemesh in this last stand.
 
Alekan mediated with a Grol messenger who appeared at Zietal Mar, claiming that he and Kogan were the only remaining Dwarves on Thethe Archipelagoisland, and the othersAll-Gem had leftbeen with the All-Gemdestroyed.

Shortly afterwards, the Grol horde breached Fort Thidir, and the last two dwarvesDwarves escaped the Outpost, living feral for a year, and disguising themselves as Grol before an expeditionary party to the archipelago discovered them and returned them to Bormar.
Yemel despite taking in his bastard children was not a kind father and would often yell and verbally abuse his children in a drunken stupor. Alekan, often-times becoming the target of Yemel's yelling, strangely grew to become a fairly laid-back and indifferent individual, as early on he decided that he would simply endure his fathers beratement and move on.

Their arrival was unexpected, being attacked by the Grol within the norther forest, the brothers dashed to the Outpost seeking safety.
