Backstory
Born into a family of miners in a small rural mining town, Tom quickly settled with the thought of becoming a miner too. And that he did, at age 18. He was quite content with this life, and even more content when he got married to the love of his life, Amelia Belmont, at age 20.

A year later, two became three, when their son Aiden came into their life. All was well for a few years, Tom working in the mines, Amelia doing her science degree and Aiden growing up to be an adventures young lad. However, everything changed the year Tom turned 25. Amelia had completed her degree, and she took Aiden to attend her graduation ceremony. Tom wanted to come, but couldn’t get time off from the mines. The happy couple shared a kiss before Amelia departed, they would see each other again in a few weeks. But Amelia and Aiden never returned. A few days after their departure Tom received a letter explaining their passenger ship had gone missing. Official reports assumed it had crashed into the Vast Sea, and all passengers were assumed dead.

Driven by grief, anger and regret Tom refused to believe his family was gone. The next day he got hire on a sky ship, and he’s been looking for his love ever since. He’s worked his way from deckhand to quartermaster over the past 20 years, serving many different captains. For the last two, he’s been serving under captain Erikk Einhertt, still hoping to one day see his wife and son again.
