Konnor Asperi was born in the city-state of Jegal on the continent of Garou, to a loving but impoverished family. Konnor's father was a soldier and his mother a cook. When Konnor was just seven, his father was killed in action, leaving his mother to raise him and his two sisters on her own.
Konnor was tutored in the basics of swordsmanship by the city's champion swordsman, and at the age of thirteen he was apprenticed to the city's most skilled armor-maker.
Konnor's earliest memories are of working long days at the armor-maker's, learning the craft of metal-smithing and armoring. It was there that he first developed a love for the discipline and rigor of swordplay, and began to dream of a life in which he could test his skills against others in honorable combat.
At the age of twenty-one, Konnor joined the city's gladiator ranks. It was in the arena that he met his mentor, a legendary warrior-gladiator named Parmenion.

Konnor quickly rose through the ranks, becoming one of the city's most renowned gladiators. He fought in Dozens of contests, becoming known for his skill with a blade and his fearless style of combat.
In 367 DR, Konnor won the coveted championship belt in the city's grand arena, and with it gained the right to challenge the reigning champion for the title of gladiator-king. Konnor readily accepted the challenge, and fought a grueling three-day battle with his rival for the title.
In the end, Konnor emerged victorious, claiming the title of gladiator-king and the right to rule the city as he saw fit. Since then, Konnor has ruled Jegal with justice and benevolence, using his power to defend the city and its people from any threat.
Despite his success as a ruler, Konnor remains true to his roots as a warrior. He regularly participates in combat tournaments and competitions, striving to prove himself as the best fighter in the land.
