Personality:
Wren usually has a smile on his face due to being taught to cater towards customers. However, his true actions are more "chaotic neutral" -- he believes his own actions are right. He follows his own whims, but only if he deems them "easily doable" or is strongly compelled to do so, making him a bit unpredictable. He has also become accustomed to smiling while making sarcastic or blunt remarks over the years simply to confuse people and see their reactions. He has no trouble lying and has actually become used to doing so.

Despite his demeanor, Wren is a good listener when the time comes. Because he was basically trained to listen to problems and seem pleasant all day, he'd rather listen and collect information than talk about his own problems. Wren longs to be free from all the rules his family placed upon him from the start, but he has never formally run away due to him being afraid of his family's reaction. He hates himself for his cowardliness and strives to overcome this.

History:
Wren was born into a family in Trost with three children, with him being the youngest. His family had owned a bookstore for decades, and each member of the family would work in the store once they were able to walk, read, and reach the shelves. Seeing his siblings work in the store made him excited as a child, but as he was taught to manage the store and help customers, he began to hate the idea. He felt as if his freedom was taken away from him at the moment of his birth.

At the age of 9, he began to steal due to the need to satire his rebellious attitude after an argument with his parents. Wren began stealing things during outings to the market -- they were small items, and they were never stolen in bulk. But the fact that he was never noticed only encouraged him. Stealing was exciting for him -- it gave him a strange rush of adrenaline he never felt when explaining books to strangers. He began going out at night to steal, slipping through alleys him and his siblings would have never been able to go through.

When Wren was 13, he was nearly caught by his oldest sister. She had found a small knife he had stolen from a vendor in a drawer, and Wren had only narrowly escaped suspicion by weaving a thread of lies. This event didn't discourage him, however, because he realized he didn't have to steal tangible items. He could steal words. He began selling information he got from customers and eavesdropping in the market and alleyways, eventually getting into secret political matters and murder plans. You could say he is more of a traitor than an informant, for his unpredictable alliances could make him a turncoat to paying parties.

Extra:
• He doesn't hate books, really. He actually loves to listen and read myths.
• His oldest sibling (the sister) is named Eleanor, who is 28. The middle child is his brother, Nicholas, who is 23.
