<string id="prebackstory.spc_wanderer_aserai_4" text="{=XVZGCB0a}Yeah, sure." />
<string id="backstory_a.spc_wanderer_aserai_4" text="{=LjkQ4fYp}I come from a town where every alley has its 'protector.' These are men with some strength but also a lot of respect, who stand up for the rights of the people there. My father was our alley's protector, and so it fell on me to take his job after he grew too old to do it himself." />
<string id="backstory_b.spc_wanderer_aserai_4" text="{=Z8TfQDSV}A few years after he retired, we had a new guard captain. We protectors, we serve the state, but we're not its tool. This new captain didn't understand. He'd come to me and say, 'One of my lads took this man's daughter - see that he doesn't make a fuss,' or, 'Let's have little private meetings, so you can tell us what your people are up to.' " />
<string id="backstory_c.spc_wanderer_aserai_4" text="{=PWpTT0NM}I told the captain that I couldn't do these things. The alley people - they had to trust me. The captain didn't take 'no' for an answer. He pressured me. He threatened my father. What could I do? I couldn't betray my people but I couldn't betray my father either. I took my family and left." />
<string id="response_1.spc_wanderer_aserai_4" text="{=yXhf3AJk}A hard choice." />
<string id="response_2.spc_wanderer_aserai_4" text="{=nlRg040C}Better to have properly constituted authority than that of some back-alley tough." />
<string id="backstory_d.spc_wanderer_aserai_4" text="{=Vwhnrf66}So here I am. I have mouths to feed, and the thing I know best is to fight." />
<string id="generic_backstory.spc_wanderer_aserai_4" text="{=zTNhw5T6}I'm from a town near here. I won't say which one... Our family were protectors of our alley, and by that I mean that I thumped the head of anyone who tried to take away our rights. But the guard captain, he kept coming around demanding money and favors, and I couldn't thump his head. So now I'm looking for new work." />
