He/Him
Bigby was taken into a secret monastery as a baby. It was known as the Skia and it trained some of the best spies and assassins unknown by the world…That is until Bigby gets a few drinks in him. From a young age Bigby was taught the ways of Shadows, and while he had a natural talent for it, he had no desire to stay. To this day he remains alert to the possibility of his former guild killing him, but that’s a thought for later. Besides, they would have to teach someone to be better than him first…
