Background: Jules grew up in a noble's household, a friend to the young son. When the on learned the skill of the sword, Jules learned with him, and showed a natural cut-throat talent for the blade. At first seeking to improve himself for his friend, it was not long before Adolphe became driven and obsessed at learning more sword techniques, proving himself against and defeating stronger opponents.
Until he found almost nobody could fight against him. Then, his obsession became depression, and he started drinking, unable to find people to fight. Eventually, the dangerous swordsman had to flee from city to city, after getting drunk and wounding (or killing) numerous people. Repeatedly. The mercenary blade went south, and immediately ran into the same problems, again and again.
Nobody wants this dangerous man around.
