Character Sheet
A second generation immigrant to Korvosa, Vemior's grandparents and their children were among loyalist refugees fleeing the short-lived Biston uprising of 4658.
Drawing upon decades of experience, the Diaquani family quickly established themselves in West Dock as fishermen of some skill and reputation.
Following the death of 'The Old-Man' (Cruskis) Diaquani in 4665, Vemi's father, Renior Diaquani, officially took over as head of the family. With the help of some well-placed customers and business partners in Korvosan polite society, Renior swiftly shifted the company's emphasis from actual fishing to the overseeing of fishing-boats and fish processing facilities, elevating the Diaquani name to a respectable status in the city.
After completing the early years of his privately tutored education, a teen-age Vemior turned his back on his father's desires for him to study the family business; instead, pursuing a career as an actor and orator.
With a little money earned, a few connections made, and very much imagining himself as some bohemian nobleman, Vemior enlisted at Orsini's Academy to learn swordplay. This double insult to his father caused several serious arguments about politics and family loyalty for the Diaquanis. With both men being too proud, and too stubborn to apologise, the conflict eventually resulted in Vemior's estrangement from his father; neither of them speaking to each other for several years, the only exchange of words being through an intermediary, Zarda, Vemior's younger sister.
Through Zarda, Vemior learns that his father has become secretly addicted to the street-drug 'shiver', and that in rare lucid moments curses him as the cause of his addiction. Angry, and ready for an argument, Vemi goes to confront his father, only to discover him in the midst of a near-fatal overdose that leaves the once-proud patriarch pathetic and wretched.

Wracked with shame, Vemior is driven to investigate Korvosa's drug ridden underworld, swearing vengeance on the "despicable lowlife scum responsible for the devastation of my family". Eventually, through a combination of subtle politicking, bribery, and outright intimidation, he uncovers the name of local crimelord Gaedren Lamm.
