Ankh's history begins in the borders of Anauroch and Cormyr, in Stonelands, where a small Barbarian tribe took place.
His Father Ankh Uthak was a well respected leader of the small tribe, his actions would influence those who there lived, he was praised and loved by most. Unlike other tribe leaders, he was famous for his teachings of less violence to the world, emphasizing that protection should be primary in battle, attack being obviouly needed but not the finality.
Ankh's Mother Cicilia Young was from Cormyr, taken in to tribe life after being slave of other tribes, Ankh Uthak eventually set her free to join his side.
Years after Ankh Young The Second's birth rebellions started to grow strong against his father. Factions did not agree with the way he treated the foreigners or about his protection and hopeful teachings. He was eventually murdered (along with Cicilia) by strong members of the tribe who caused a the rebellion, then taking position as leaders.
To Ankh Young the Second this transition of life was very important for his way of being and seeing things, the new leaders said he could stay as long as he surrendered to their point of view, after all they needed someone so big in the tribe.
The huge man decided it was best to leave tribe life and knowing nothing about the world, he studied a lot of language as he had been interested in such, but that was all he knew about, no history, no common sense, or social sense.
He ended up in the City of Arabel where a dedicated warrior, interested in his big built body, trained Ankh to be a guard and a Phalanx. Though it took little time before the huge man tired of laws, orders and dedicated timing.
He then set into Daggerfalls looking for work as an adventurer. Following his fathers beliefs, with his muscled arm and tower shield he struggles to protect all those he can.
