Backstory: Born and raised in Kakariko village Angus was told stories of strange and wondrous people and places in far away land and as a boy he aspired to become a traveler and see them for himself. His mother helped out around the village doing odd jobs while his father worked as a trader, mostly dealing in fine food and drinks with the odd exotic item thrown in for good measure. Not long after his 14th birthday Angus started traveling with his father, castle town, Lon Lon ranch, the Goron and Zora settlements, Angus saw it all over the years. At about 20 years old, after working for his father's company Angus went to castle town and became an apprentice blacksmith.
After 10 years Angus' raw potential had been polished and perfected and he was renowned as a master black smith but he knew that he wasn't the best, he knew there was room to improve. He traveled to the Goron home and swapped tips and techniques with their finest, after a year or two living among them he was accepted as an honourable brother. Next he moved to see the Zoras who taught him to use blue flame along with regular fire to craft nearly unbreakable tools and weapons. Aged 35 Angus took over the castle town blacksmith and using his newly learnt techniques became renowned as a master blacksmith forging tools for farmers and weapons for guards and adventure, he also picked up the nickname "Black Thunder" after the crashing noise that echoed from the smithy while he worked. After a long while Angus decided to leave castle town and set up a proper business, out away from the busy and noisy town life, with the help of some craftsmen he set up a smithy out in the mountains east of his home town, from here he would forge tools then travel by cart to various customers and sell then equipment and he's been doing that ever since. Every now and then someone would come and stay with Angus, an apprentice seeking training, an old friend, a traveler looking for a place to stay, a lot of faces and a lot of friends.
