After being raised in residence of the local royal family he was put to work as a magistrato, essentially a government inspector for trade. On his days off he felt a strong pull into the neighboring forests and swamps. Appreciating the calm and the unkempt wilderness around him.
As his career developed he found himself disagreeing with some of Crinia's policies, especially the handling of foreigners.
When an unmarked riverboat requested to pass unchecked, Lorenzo followed procedure, despite warning from his colleagues. The boat was searched, and an enormous hoard of wealth and treasure was found.
Not noticing he made a dangerous enemy because of this decision, his superiors sent him away to the Swamps of Crinia to oversee the small town of Bellavia Nuova.
Lorenzo turned out to be a decent leader, almost doubling the wealth the region had by working together with the village elder and his daughter making good trade deals, and improving the overall organization.
