Personality
Hieronymus is a very odd person. You see, he has loyalties to very few people. He'd double cross almost anyone if he was paid for it. In other words, he will do just about anything for a few copper. Now Hiero is also odd as he perceives the Holy Light as more of a 'God' figure. He once tried to explain, in a drunken haze, this to a priest "It's like, 'e's this real ol' dude. Got me? With a big ol' bushy beard man... And knows 'ow ta drink!" This was usually backed up by most of the priests he has known over the years, how they were all old and had big beards.
History
Hieronymus Phillida Avidius was born somewhere in some shanty part of the Capitol City of Lordaeron. However due to a robbery turned bad, both of his parents were killed and he was placed in the City Orphanage. Not knowing what his parents named him, He was named after two nobles that had donated to the Orphanage. That was his life for ten years.
When he was officially ten, Hieronymus slipped out from his room at night seeking adventure like in the tales of the few books the Orphanage had to offer. He ran around that night extremely disappointed has he could not find much to do. So for the night he slept inside a semi-empty garbage can trying to decide if he made a good idea or not.
The next morning he was shaken awake by some other young boys his age. They informed him that they were a gang of pickpockets and needed a kid to be a distraction. Hieronymus thought that this sounded like good fun, and so he joined them! And for the next two years little Hieronymus learned the art of pickpocketing and got pretty good, too!
When Hiero turned twelve he met a rather odd man from Kul Tiras. He introduced himself as Grady O'Dannal, Sifter of Graves. Hieronymus was interested in this man and his stories. In fact it wasn't too long before O'Dannal took little Hiero to be his apprentice. And so Grady and Hieronymus went around the different cemeteries and graveyards aiming to find the freshest of the lot. You see, Grady had quite a debt owed up to a Scientist in the town of Brill who threatened to have him executed on cases of Deformation of Payment.
Unfortunately the two were caught late at night trying to dig up the fresh grave of an elderly woman outside of the Monastery. Grady was apprehended and then later beheaded on several charges, not just grave robbing. Hiero, however, managed to dart off into the darkness. He then got onto the first boat he could stow away on to Kul Tiras.
For almost four years Hieronymus ran around Kul Tiras as a pickpocket turned cut-throat for a small group of bandits. Holding up trading caravans, travelers, and merchants alike. It was pretty good for a while, until one year the Kul Tiras navy didn't come back from Kalimdor and they instituted a form of a draft. Hieronymus was unlucky enough to be drafted and was prepared to be thrown into service. However one quick stowing aboard a ship to newly rebuilt Stormwind solved that problem.
From here on out Hiero has been darting all over Stormwind as a petty thief turned burglar. Most of his jobs went pretty smooth or he had to drop everything and book it quick. It was unfortunate however, one time he was caught. He was then thrown into the Stockades for almost a year for it(He somehow figured that breaking into a Nobles Mansion would be a piece of cake).
One night, after he was released from the Stockades, Hieronymus was shown Mr. Jeremiah Burkeson. A former patron of the Brotherhood, Mr. Burkeson now works primarily on the Black Market. Hieronymus was given two choices when he met Mr. Burkeson in Cut-Throat Alley. Work for the Old Man and get paid a percentage, or be discovered by the City Guard floating in the canals. Hieronymus hastily accepted and began to steal more things.
Recently, to fulfill his job description, Hieronymus broke into the Headquarters of the Alliance Volunteer Army and made off with a good amount of their possessions. And nearly got the crap kicked out of him again by the Old Man's body guards.
And so we find our pickpocket/cut-throat/bandit/grave robber running around Stormwind, trying to find bigger and better ventures of opportunity.
