| Not much is known about Aelf Brennender's early life due to the fact that he works so hard to keep it a secret. His fellow members of Storm Force think that this may be because he is wanted by some top Imperial offical for a scam he may have run on them. Though the truth may be more likely that he wants to build up an air of mystery around himself as he probably wasn't the rogue he wants everyone to believe.
What is known for certain about Aelf's history begins around three years before he joined Storm Force. At that time Aelf was getting himself involved in all types of criminal activities, from robbing banks to forging credits, to operating some rather notorious scams. Typically Aelf's activities were done for the benifit of the opressed and the less fortunate, very rarely were they done for personal reasons or gains. Aelf made a name for himself as a righter of wrongs and a hero of the underdog.
But as time went on, Aelf began to feel that he was very much like a rudderless boat, going through life helping others without any real direction. When he heard from a former acquaintance about some mercenary looking to put together a team, he sought ther mercenary out hoping there might be a chance that this team would be used to try and help the less fortunate just as he'd been doing for the past three years. What he found was Storm One and his newly hired teammate Riki.
Storm One was instantly intrested in the fact that Aelf was a shapeshifter as it meant that he was a master of disguise. Something he felt would be helpful to Storm Force. After looking over Aelf's qualifications, he made the Shi'ido the second ever member of Storm Force. |
