Tim Cook

Diverging from the usual Wood Elf isolationist tendencies, Altim Pineshade set out from the Ironwood Forest to learn more about the foods of other races. He snuck out one night with a backpack of apples and a knife. After miles of walking, he came upon a caravan traveling to the city of Port Bliss. Without a single copper and no friends, Altim turned to thieving to stay alive. Everything that was of value was an object of desire. Money out of pockets and unminded street stall fare were the base with which Altim fed himself. After a few too close encounters, being identified as “the elf kid”, Altim bought himself a hat to cover his ears and make him less easily identifiable.

After 6 months on the streets, Altim befriended a fellow destitute child and introduced himself as “Tim”. Tim spent the next years meeting more of the underbelly of Port Bliss. After 6 years on the streets, Tim had established himself in the underground as someone who could acquire most things from most places, regardless of the security. Still though, he lived in the streets and on rooftops. It was at this point the he found the Mendicant Owlbear and cooking. After 6 years on the street, a hot meal was the best thing that Tim had experienced. Enchanted as he was, he asked if he could learn how to cook under Daquan Hiroshima [Name Subject to Change], the cook and part owner of the tavern. Taking mercy on Tim, they took him in and gave him room in the attic.

After 4 years in the kitchen, Tim was known as Tim Cook, his skills with a knife were well beyond his teacher, and he wanted more. While he appreciated the kindness he had been shown at the Mendicant Owlbear, he wanted to learn more about cooking and expand his skills beyond what he could learn at a tavern. As such, he was ready so set out into the world.
