face is rugged and and freckled with a large broken nose bent
slightly to the left. His goofy face is highlighted by his jagged
red hair. He stands fairly tall, with good posture, his legs and
arms lanky at best. He doesn't seem to be the most muscular
human, but rather agile none the less. He's dressed in leathers
Role
Maybe I'm Just Like My Mother...

Rockeano was born on the southern continent in the great city of Seantryn
Modan. His father, a strict man of no significant stature, was employed by
the Empresss Royal guard to patrol the city streets on night shift.
Rockeanos interactions with his father were abrasive and demeaning, as his
fathers lack of presence manifested bitterness and a lack of respect for
authority. His mother, a notoriously attractive and unfaithful woman, was
very self-absorbed and encumbered by him. Throughout his adolescence, he
craved the supportive attention he had never received from his parents.
Often young Rockeano would fantasize remembered scenes of his mothers
frequent infidelity while his father was on duty. He favored himself as the
role of her newest lover, as he sneakily rummaged through her secret
collection of gifts including fine jewelry and clothing. From this raising
he gained only slightly the greatest of virtues of his fathers diligent
service, modest charity, and masculinity but instead evolved a more vain,
attention crazed man of self-importance and cunning desire like his mother.
Rockeano was a charismatic ladies man who seemed to land himself in the
noblest of circles. His youthful charm and desire to impress got him in
precarious situations more often than not. Always dressed to seen, he was
the frequently bouncing secretly from the bedchambers of Seantryn noble
women despite their marital status. At first the rush of these mischievous
encounters with forbidden women would leave him respectfully in awe of their
homes filled with lavish decorations and expensive trinkets. In time his
rush grew more so from the precious desirables he would steal for himself
departure than the affairs themselves. To sustain his lifestyle he learned
to recognize exquisite things and developed relationships in the shadiest of
circles to fence his merchandise. Profiting from his good looks and cunning
lifestyle, he was in the prime of his life financially and emotionally, or so
he thought.
From Palaces to Pawn Shops

Did I get that right?
[Yes No]
nlight they both knew that moment would
change their lives forever. It was a typical night for Rockeano as he ended
one of his forbidden affairs in haste via a window to the garden below. It
was just as he emerged from a gap in the garden wall leading to the street
that they met. Rockeano was startled, and in his pause, his father
questioned, Rockeano? He knew his father was on duty and immune to his
charm. The gravity of the situation was overwhelming, causing Rockeanos
adolescence to peek. Submitting to his angry father, he revealed the jewels
and politically lethal information of his sorted relationship. Enraged and
fearful of his own dishonor, his father disowned Rockeano and banished him
from Seantryn Modan, vowing to keep such night unspoken forever. Concealed
in the fog of the cold Seantryn Modan streets, their last words to one
another were brief and venomous.
Rockeano was young and arrogant and turned to his shady contacts using his
stash of jewels to finance a new life. Landing in Arkham, his experiences of
noble culture and suave charm helped immerse him the underground market. He
developed a profitable relationship with a man named Jack. Rockeano admired
that Jack was a thuggish ringleader of the local market. Jack held a rugged
power and unrefined wealth. And Jack enjoyed Rockeano due to his overt
flashiness and excited appraisals to Jacks many unknown exotic trinkets.
Rockeano made the best of this arrangement and flourished in the small
dock town. His style and taste and taken piles of treasure Jack once stored,
and created a value and market for them. Many of these trinkets were mere
trash sold in counterfeit to Jack, and he learned recognize originals from
Rockeanos flaming appreciation. Rockeano became part of the family, and
studied many aspects of the market. His basic skills of larceny were honed
and he picked up an understanding of Jacks organization and interests in
venom. Profiting from his style and charm, he was in the prime of his life
financially but he now he missed the limelight of home even more.
Tabling a New Life

It was a cold and foggy morning when Rockeano prepared to board the ship for
the mainland. As he walked the docks to leave behind the small town, the
weather combined with the gravity of the moment caused Rockeano to remember
his past. He recalled the night he fought with his father when he left his
hometown, he imagined the way his estranged mother would sit and comb her
beautiful hair when he was a child, and he longed for the excitement of noble
parties filled with expensive culture. He had spent years in Arkham
developing into a mature business man, and dressed in his finest attire he
set sail with aspirations. Off to make his mark in the bustling city of
Galadon, Rockeano had big plans to expand his marketing frontier. Having
dealt with wandering rogues and merchants from Galadon, he conceived it the
perfect opportunity for him to emerge the premier dealer of high end
merchandise.
Rockeano was surprised at first with the diversity of his new environment.
He worked hard to establish himself, but was not generating the wealth he had
anticipated. His desires to be seen in prestige fashion were bleeding out
his reserves of gold and precious jewelry at an unsustainable rate. He had
joined the guild of Galadon, and paid in large amounts of his wealth to be
seen as Elite among his new peers leaving him desperate for a solution.
Rockeano spent most of his time working the market from within the guild and
discussing with Glinar scams and historical heists. Rockeano took particular
interest in the concept of counterfeiting fine art and merchandise from his new
guildmaster. In the past he had made his fortune by authenticating precious
artifacts, able to appreciate fine artistry and set their market value, but
now he had a new plan. Understanding the intricacies of these works of art, he
studied under Glinar to replicate famous pieces. His newfound techniques and
style flourished his creative side, and soon he was not only creating
undetectable knock offs for the market, but he was also creating his own
designs. Profiting again from the market, he had become the man to see in
Galadon for anything of value.
Unveiling the Gusto

Rockeano had gained the support of his fellow thieves, and through this
support he was voted to hold the responsibilities of Kingpin. His years
watching Jack lead the Arkham crime family had prepared him for the task, and
he was able to reinvent the Galadon market. Rockeano appreciated the network
of thieves that had helped him reassume and surpass his previous fortunes.
Amassing a tremendous wealth from his new position, he gave back to his guild
via guidance and support to those with less natural talent. The guild would
double in its size and influence under his leadership as did his flaming ego.
Established once again, he began heading north to the Inn of the Eternal
Star frequently in order to vainly flaunt his stature amongst Theras most
notable people.
It was at the Eternal Star that Rockeano would meet a performer named
Maehayla, her talent and charisma rivaled his. She was the High Herald of
the Inn and quite the showman. Rockeano appreciated her stories, exotic
dancing, and pizzazz. Rockeano would mingle, gamble, and blatantly set up
shop in her Inn and in the beginning this often led to disagreement between
the two. Rockeano had a brazen style about him which upset several of her
crew unfolding the eventual dismal of one very angry Scribe. After many long
nights of working the patrons, the two would find themselves alone in
conversation when the crowds would disperse. Maehayla encouraged Rockeano
to pursue his artist talents and offered him an opportunity to join the cast of
the Herald. He reveled in this chance to shine as a Decorator as he would
finally be able to take credit for his talents. Rockeano would no longer
have to table fakes, instead now he could display his own masterpieces
recognized and accredited by the world. With this chance to deliver true art
to the masses, he put his essence into form and proudly unveiled the Gusto
originals.
