His family poverty-stricken, Candon lived a harsh rough life. Food was always scarce. His father joined a band of robbers, and through that they managed to survive. His father was caught and hanged when Candon was 15, and Candon was forced to join the robbers as well in order to keep his family alive. Candon had three other siblings. One other brother that was also killed, a sister that died of starvation, and a baby brother that died of the fever. All that lives is his mother, who grows weaker and sicker by the day, even though she isn’t that old. Even with Candon being with the robbers, food and money is scarce and he barely gets enough for the both of them.

Candon doesn’t particularly agree with everything the robbers do but he sticks with them because it is the only thing he has ever known.

Candon is pretty decent with the bow and is able to be rather stealthy when the need arises. Because of this he is often the robbers’ “spotter”; a person who stays back to watch and pick off while the brutes rush in.
