okay, i got his backstory ready. just for fun, i'm gonna post it here
he's just under middle age (for an elf)

Gragir grew up in and around Baldurs Gate, living a fairly normal life. Normal enough to get a wife (Safiir, pronounced Sapphire) and two sons (Gillian, 15) and (Stiofn 18)
possibly divorced depending on what makes more sense/ what's more interesting

At one point a few years ago when he desperately needed money, he fell into the Thieves Guild/Pirate Group/ whatever illegal group makes sense for the game. i would like it to be some group that has some connection to the further main plot, so DM, do as you see fit, please let me know what you come up with.

it started as just running messages, then moving illicit items, lookout, to eventually grow into taking part in scams, burglary and pickpocketing.
he tried his best to never hurt anyone physically, but he wasn't always succesful.

shortly before the campaign start, due to a job gone wrong, he began thinking of ways out of at least the worst of the criminal life, but as a wise man once said: Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.
at DMs discretion, possibly he was arrested by the Fist and ordered to help take down this group, depending on what the main plot needs.

worried that this started to be an unsafe environment. he sent his family to the realtive safety of Elturel.
