The Story of Twisted Fate
Twisted Fate grew up in the swamps of a coastal land before finding his way to Bilgewater, where his talent for cards and probability made him famous in the gambling dens and then notorious in the streets when it became clear that his winning was not entirely about skill. He has a magical ability he has never fully explained or fully controlled: he can feel the probability in a situation, can coax cards to land where he needs them, can throw three cards simultaneously and have each of them hit a different target.
His partnership with Graves — the bounty hunter whose approach to problems involves significantly more firepower than Fate's finesse — is one of Bilgewater's great complicated relationships. They worked together for years, pulled off things neither could have managed alone, and then Fate made a decision that got Graves imprisoned and didn't make much effort to fix it. The partnership has been rebuilt since Graves escaped, but "rebuilt" is not the same as "repaired." Graves is still angry. Fate knows he deserves it.
He moves through Bilgewater's underworld with a gambler's particular philosophy: everything is probability, every situation has an angle, and the key to survival is reading the odds correctly and never falling in love with any particular outcome. This philosophy has served him extremely well professionally and rather poorly personally. He is charming, quick, and one of the most capable thieves in the world. He is also someone who has made the same mistake enough times that it starts to look like a choice.
