It perhaps could explain the scar on his face, not that he's seeming too keen on bringing it up in casual conversation. London was a shithole as far as he was concerned and he wouldn't be wrong in the slightest, but if you could survive on Ogre Street then you could survive anywhere. Wits, cunning, the strength to keep going despite all of the shit being against you, that sort of thing.
"Thieving was only part of it, we weren't above murder if we had to." He doesn't sound particularly proud of that part, tipping his hat down with a soft sigh. "Though, I suppose, thievery wasn't just a London thing." It's actually helping a bit to hear that he's not being judged for this sort of thing.
But he's slowly shaking his head in turn. "Not exactly. I left to follow after someone after seeing how he reacted, we tried to rob and kill him when he resisted, but he put us on our asses fairly quickly. He could have killed us then and there, but he didn't, a true gentleman that one. I ended up getting his name and following him, there was just... something about him, that my destiny intertwined with his. I was correct, in that assumption.
As for the gang, as far as I'm aware, they were still doing what they had done. But I still spoke to the two closest to me fairly frequently. Good men, Tattoo and Kempo Master, despite."
