Changes

Mon Lon was born in [[Mantar]] into a family of a wealthy merchant who dealt in salt. Mon Lon began working at his father's enterprise, but then his father went out of favor with the court when the [[Nilma Oordar|Angry King]] came to power. This was due to his father being part of a [[The Coming of Vaona|bizarre cult]] that was gaining ground in Mantar, whereas Nilma was a Xaewoon Blue purist and began religious cleansing which resulted in a number of cults being banned and their followers expelled, most notably [[Foft]].

Mon Lon was not part of the cult, but seeing his father's standing losing ground, he took some of the family money and left for Delavire, where he used his funds to enter into slave trade. He began working the [[Delavire-Gonne slave trade corridor]], but quickly became known for his underhanded tactics, like providing information to the Kippies on his competitors' travel timetables and routes. He was described as arrogant and difficult to work with. Eventually, he made many enemies, but managed to became a relatively successful and important figure at Delavire. He hired a whole unit of personal guards and was unafraid of the Kippies due to establishing a good relationship with a number of [[Toor_(political_entity)|toors]]. However, in 1603 his slave caravan was attacked by one of the Kippie toors and he was taken prisoner and then sold as a slave at Delavire to his competitor. It turned out that his competitors sent out word to local Kippie toors that a reward was set for capturing Mon Lon and bringing him to Delavire alive.

For the next several years Mon Lon was utilized as a slave at his competitors' slave barracks. They sold him to one another in order to humiliate him. According to Mon Lon, he was frequently beaten and tortured. Eventually, however, his captors tired of denigrating their former enemy themselves and decided to move him on and sell him off.
