Vasi Mala'Ika

Born Vasil son of Arda

Parents forced to move to Constantinople from Peleponese

Both of his parents succumbed to the Black Death within two weeks of each other.

Vasi quickly learned how to survive on the streets before retreat to Bursa.

Vasi took his street gang and fled Constantinople to Bursa, where they attempted to make a name for themselves.

Lived on the streets of Bursa. It was harder here. The gangs were more cliquish and Vasi had to do bigger jobs to get more street cred.

Vasi joined the local thieves guild after stealing jewels from a wealthy noble mans wife.

Curious about his home country, and hearing about the Zealots there, Vasi ran away from his sire and disappeared into the streets of the Greek town where he organized the orphans and those who lived on the streets.

Vasi organized and helped run the new thieves guild in Thessaloniki. His organization of street rats and orphans dubbed him the title "Rat King" because he had the youth of the streets under his sway.

Vasi moved to Venice with his sire, who was attempting to gain help from their court to defend Constantinople from the Ottoman siege. They stayed for 20 years. During this time Vassi spent most of his time with his sire, though he'd sneak out from time to time and steal from the rich, seldom getting caught.
