Character Backstory

This was my character, Patik’s, back-story from the monologues.

Patik was born in present day India long before the countries were divided as they are now. He was born to a family of moderate wealth and social standing. As a young man he was arranged to married to the beautiful girl in his village whom he fell deeply in love with. By the age of 16 they were to be wed, but she fell ill and died. Heart broken, Patik set out on a journey that would take throughout most of the known world. He studied several different martial arts and held conference with several religious figures and gurus. He became a master of the arts and the growing and preparation of food. Years later Patik was visiting his brother in the village of his birth when he stumbled upon a child, no older that a few days, weeks at best, abandoned. He waited with the child for several hours for the young boys parents to return. When no one came Patik searched high and low to no avail. He adopted the boy as his own and raised him as the son he never had.
