The city of Katrina was a growing trade city just off the coast of the Grand Eagle Republic- a fresh, young nation which had gained independence as a sovereign nation not even a century ago. Katrina had once belonged to another nation as one of their colonies, but had soon come into the hands of the republic.

This city was the one that Marin chose as his adopted home, though only a few stone's throws away from his birth home: a plantation in the more rural areas. Marin had initially worked among his slaves, however, had long since sold the farm as well as freed his own slaves in the process in order to fund his own adventuring career. It had been a while since then, and though city life was much tougher than Marin had initially imagined, he had made a living nonetheless.

It was long since Marin had met the dragon Tekus, who bestowed unto Marin his bountiful muscular gains. Since then, he had been working to encourage the city-goers to mingle in a more subtle fashion than he'd imagine his predecessors had. Marin made his living as a "performer", who had "entertained" many young ladies in the city's lonely nights.
