Dominic was a homeless kid living rough on the streets. he survived by a combination of petty theft and begging. One day, he was found by a wandering Monk, who took Dominic with him as an apprentice. It should be noted that Dominic only agreed to this after three full meals a day were offered... Months later, dominic had started to pick up the rudiaments of the monks art, but it was his street upbringing that was his downfall. He started stealing from the monestary he was staying at. he was ejected from the monk order and went back to the streets. His monk abilities were not fully developed, so he took with him this cloak. He quickly realised that if he removed the cloak, his skills would not be sufficient to survive, so he wore it all the time. This, unfortunatly impregnated the smell of himself and the streets into it - which makes sneaking up on people to pick their pockets a little difficult...
