Line 28:

No details of Volpone's early life have emerged yet in the role play.  At the time of his earliest noted appearance chronologically, in 187, he had just turned twenty, a fact speculated upon by members of the [[Westenford Ruling Council]].  Volpone is known to have at least a small background in theatre, as well, from a brief apprenticeship spent in his home village of [[Manello]], [[Amasynia]].  His career as a traveling rogue for hire surfaced in 187 in [[Westenford]] when he took on the name of "The Fox," which he claims is the common translation of his family name from the tongue locally used in [[Manello]], and proceeded to steal from high society in the coastal city.  What most of the rich in town did not know is that he was being privately hired out by [[Aloisius Treadwell]] for a series of thefts from Treadwell's fellow council members.  When these thefts unexpectedly turned to an accidental arson, [[Aloisius Treadwell|Chief Magistrate Treadwell]] equally unexpectedly turned the tables, having The Fox arrested after claiming the stolen merchandise from him.  This immediately created enmity between the two of them; Volpone cut open his employer's throat in revenge, serving only part of a day in jail before managing an escape while Doctor [[James Byron]] worked to resuscitate and heal the injured politician.  Volpone was ultimately caught again at some point in early 188, serving two years of hard labor in the [[Westenford]] jail before managing another escape.

Volpone's criminal career from this point fades into and out of obscurity, with The Fox resurfacing from time to time to engage [[Aloisius Treadwell|Treadwell]] again between other affairs.  On November 2, 190 [[Anno Regalis|AR]], the third anniversary of his attack on [[Aloisius Treadwell|Treadwell]], he slew [[James Byron|Doctor Byron]] in a way identical to how he had planned to kill his former employer: by cutting the man's throat and leaving him to bleed to death.  The [[Westenford]] authorities were never able to prove this, though, or to capture him on this particular charge.  Between June 28 and July 4, 205, Volpone kidnapped his round, old target in an effort to humiliate him by bricking him into a cave with barely enough room to wriggle free if only he could slim down substantially.  Of course, during [[Aloisius Treadwell|Treadwell]]'s incarceration, the old man did not have such liberty; The Fox stole substantial amounts of sweets and ale, keeping his captive gorged on them in an effort to break him.  Rescue by a [[Captain of the town guard|Alexander Kanashia]] saw The Fox attempting to kill [[Aloisius Treadwell|Treadwell]] once more, adding another scar to match the first but not, in his haste, successfully finishing the job before having to flee.  Other crimes surfaced when Volpone reappeared in 207 and 208, but these were more to [[Myrkentown]] in general.  Eventually, he left [[Myrkentown|Myrken]] behind and has not surfaced for some years.
