[attr="class,"bioentry"]***do note, in ebon's sellsword/merc adventures in essos he often donned disguises and frequented the alias marik. so if you choose to be someone of that part of his past, its very likely he'll remember you and not likely you'll instantly recognize him. ofc, the prince is never afraid to confront those that wish to be confronted.

Ebon’s past before becoming the head of house Martell is no fairy-tale story, or typical prince in training episode. While adored by many and praised by the majority of his people, the male’s molding into a benevolent ruler was something definitely unforeseen. Highly touted as the most reckless of his siblings, Ebon’s early years included infuriating his mother and father with his apparent lack of care for his nobility and clear disregard of their principles. He cared little for the luxurious robes that his mother hand picked out for him and the tutors that surrounded him. To be frank, one would almost believe that he was some sort of mentally challenged bastard son and many saw his uncouth nature as a threat to the safety and future of Dorne itself. Nonetheless, his father only termed his ill behavior as a phase that he was going through, and assured that his eldest son would quickly learn the higher standard that accompanied their family name.

And by his early teens, Ebon’s rascal nature still hadn’t subsided. Like any lad, he found himself enamored with the rise of two things: his cock and his blade. Pleasure was a nightly quest and by the day he dabbled into different poisons and gases, coaxing the blade of his trademark double edged pole-arm and other arms with the deadly liquid. The lust for nobility never set in and he was constantly referred to as a prince of dirt by his family. A moniker that the youth had no issue bearing nor cared for. His father tempted to sway him by arranging his union with Ashara from House Dayne. A beautiful lass that had been the one to snare his son's attention. And though the knot was tied, the prince's rascal made the decision to leave the Martell throne and follow his unstable passion to Essos.

Peeling into the darkness on a dornish steed, Ebon pursued his own path towards a free life, and not the one that his father and the dornish tasked him with. Accompanying him was only a small handful of daunting men and women, desiring the same exploration of the world that consumed him. By now as any person can assume, Ebon was widely regarded as a wretch of a son and strongly disliked by many who received wind of his disappearance. But Ebon’s young pilgrimage into the various regions of Westeros was an essential part of his divine development.

It was at the time that he became a young mercenary along with his group of men, dispatching his prince identity for a life a bit more to his liking. A golden mask cupped his entire face save his vision and he shed his own name for another alias in that of Marik. Formidable in the art of combat, his small band helped many for coin and there losses were always little to none. The professionalism of Dorne's guerilla tactics and his father's tutelage unknowingly paid off. It wasn’t until he traveled from Westeros to Essos that he met a match for his skills in combat by the name of Magnus. In Magnus’ savagery and strength, he saw his speed and affinity for poisons as a welcomed rival. With a mutual respect for their styles of combat, the two combined their experienced handfuls and became known as the Basilisk Brothers. Such a beast was symbolic since it described the perfect union between the two as Ebon produced venom that induced a violent madness upon their enemies. The time that the youth had spent as a sellsword only served to increase his versatility with weapons plucked from the hands of the dead and used with an attempt to understand it. From his family's loved spears to swords to bows and everything else under the sun. Ebon even ensured that he was prepared even if he had to use his fist. More favorably though, he grew in the art of his silver tongue and poisons, going to great lengths to create varying toxins from the resources around him. In his years studying the art, his skill and deadliness in the trade only became that much more fulfilling and he studied their effects righteously. It stretched to the very point to were he kept his own vials on different poisons on his person and he became damn good at causing the death of others from afar, eliminating him as a suspect of any evidence or activity following the death of his marks.

In spite of his love for Essos and his inability to settle down, the Prince still held a soft spot for his wife and child. Every few months or so he returned to his kingdom to receive lashings by both his father and his wife. And as he received their anger and frustration, he channeled his power into keeping the peace and remaining as honest as he could. Not to mention he wanted to spend time watching his seed grow and possibly bearing more. It became a habit of him coming and going, being hated and loved. But at the end of the day he found himself returning to Essos, unable to resist the life that he had made.

With time came fame and success, though the group never grew in size too boldly. With the savagery and wit of the two, the two men and their group became infamous for their feats through Essos. Nonetheless, no man can become bigger than the very law itself, at least not for long. The success of the sellsword company became far too much as the law of the land placed a death warrant on the head of the Basilisk brothers. To Ebon’s fortune, the alias he forged beneath the group was targeted and his true identity was hidden well enough that he had no problems returning to his homeland with his daughter. Unfortunately, the same couldn’t be said of the stalwart Magnus and his lack of a proper disguise. It was then that the two concluded that it was best to disband and they went their separate ways with the survivors of their respective homes, promising one another to one day cross paths again. Though word has spread that Magnus had been caught and properly dealt with over the lapse of these years.

In the young prince’s surprise return, he found his mother astonished that he still lived and his father gravely sick upon his deathbed. It wasn’t until his father's death that Ebon was declared the newest Prince of the Dorne, and since then he hasn’t left his kingdom. At one point childish and irresponsible, Ebon’s decisions since succeeded his father has been to the liking of many of his people. Though he cares little for the game of thrones and for civilization beyond Dorne, Ebon makes sure to stay relatively updated with the world beyond.

In his newest adventures, he finds that of family actually being the most difficult obstacle. Where he was once absent to his children, he now proves himself to be around when needed. However that doesn't make up for the bonds and moments lost in the past. Not to mention that his daughter has decided to abandon her duties for that of love. While early on he had a temper towards her decision, he soon understood the cost and rarity of a true love. Unfortunately, it was little too late to make that known and he's found himself trying to restore the balance that was lost.

The life and battles of a sellsword were much easier than the task of keeping the family close.
