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…
