History
Hogotsu was a orphan that was dropped off in Divitiis Bona, a rich but incredibly corrupt city, when he was 5 but apperanently the house was dropped was the an aristocrat's manor, so they simply left him out in the street until a passing homeless man came and to him to the Occultis Regia, where all the homeless live. The aristocrats would often kill or capture and the orphans because they viewed them as "Filth that should not be aloud to even breath". Hogotsu would often hide with his fellow orphans until one day, he heard  from one of the older orphans, that some of the younger ones were taken to compete in some form of gauntlet against tons of magical creatures. He tried to get some of the older ones to come with him to get them out but the said it was hopless. So, he went by himself. He put on a disguise and was able to sneak into the arena, and break them out, managing to leave before the games began causing a massive uproar.

After that, he went back to trying to pretend the incident never happened and be a normal orphan, but that did not last long as they were all slowly starting to starve. He and the old orphans tried to find jobs but they were all repeatedly turned down. Eventually, one of the orphans remembered how Hogotsu managed to rescue them and suggested that he go and steal from some of the aristocrats. At first, Hogotsu was not going to due so but after everyone begging him to do so, he gave in. Since then, he has been stealing from the aristocats and teaching his fellow orphans how to pickpocket on the street.
