In bullet list format bc that's easiest rn

background & pre-timeskip

• Utaya was a border village in Almyra that was destroyed by giant monsters from Fodlan, leaving Kabru as the only survivor.
• Kabru was rescued and taken in by Milsiril, a Nabatean who dislikes her own kind and has a habit of adopting human children. She teaches him everything he ever wants to know, except for why giant monsters only seem to exist in Fodlan despite the claim that they come from an animal having absorbed too much magic.
• After much convincing of his very doting and over-protective adoptive mother (and a lot of very intense sword-training), Kabru makes his way to Garreg Mach to try and discover the truth of how/why giant monsters exist, and to join the Knights of Seiros specifically to fight them.
• Kabru uses his connection to Milsiril (who is like a wayward cousin you still care about even if you never hear from them to Rhea) to gain access to the Church library and resources, but Rhea requires that he go through the Officer's Academy before he can join the Knights of Seiros.
• Specific joined House I leave up to whatever makes sense for the thread.

time-skip

• After the fall of Garreg Mach, Kabru wanders Fodlan with a small "mercenary band" (his canon adventuring party) primarily responding to reports of giant monsters.
• They are not very good at fighting them and barely escape with their lives many times but they don't actually charge for it so...
• When he hears people are gathering at Garreg Mach again, Kabru returns as well.

background (Origins/DA2 timeline)

• Utaya was destroyed by darkspawn during the Fifth Blight, leaving Kabru as the only survivor as a very young child.
• Kabru was rescued and taken in by Milsiril, a Dalish elf Grey Warden with little interest in continuing her Warden duties. She teaches him everything he ever wants to know (including helping him to learn several languages from around Thedas, as well as all the elvhen she knows), but heavily discourages his interest in joining the Wardens for himself.
• After much convincing of his very doting and over-protective adoptive mother (and a lot of very intense sword-training, as well as a promise to only attempt the Joining if its to save his own life from Blight), Kabru leaves her care and finds work as a mercenary, wanting to help clean up the remnants of darkspawn around Thedas.

inquisition/veilguard timeline

Kabru joins up with the Inquisition and is initially placed as an interpreter. He passes along some key observations to Leiliana's agents and is then recruited to become one of her agents himself in addition to his interpretation work.

After the Inquisition disbands, Kabru uses his connections there to fund and create his own mercenary band, specializing in disposing of dark spawn and demons and offering their services for cheap or free to smaller settlements who normally can't afford the help of mercenaries.

He continues to offer his translation services from time to time (mostly from wealthy nobles and scholars wanting texts translated that don't mind a bit of a wait) to supplement the band's income.
