History[]
Youth[]
Illyrio was born in the slums of Pentos to an extremely poor family. He often went hungry as a child, resulting in him being almost gaunt until he was old enough to steal to provide for his family. When he was six-and-ten he was enlisted to help 'fishermen' who turned out to be pirates. Having lived in poverty his entire life it was a nice change of pace to have food and drink, and a place to sleep. He didn't mind at all actually. When he was five-and-twenty he duelled his old captain for command of the ship, feeling he wasn't taking enough risks. Illyrio won the duel but lost his left eye and the right ring finger in the process.
