Early Days
Sean, the brightest yet most ambitious and crafty of the Dixon Family. Originally from Ashforth (Eponllyn), he joined Perdan after he was disappointed with the leadership. However, Perdan's leaders were even more rigid, and he was criticized for beating up and arresting an adventurer, Lilith, causing her to lose several precious items she was repairing for one of the Perdan Lords.
Tired of being chastised, Sean then moved south along with his friend Sir Koloyok Sethar. He fit in there like a wench in a noble's bed, and soon rose to become Warlord and Blackjack Boss of Yssrgard. He also won a duel against Sir Finlay Keswick to secure for himself the Lordship of Itor Boss, and dealt Finlay a serious wound.
Greedy as he was, Sean hatched a plan to "buy" a unique ring, the Ring of Ikalak from Aeslich, a commoner of Perleone. When she came to sell it, she was arrested by Sir Koloyok, who as Keeper of the Laws, tortured her to get the ring. However, she refused to reveal where she had hidden the ring, and Sir Koloyok summarily executed her, tired of her whining. For his actions, Sir Kabalus Snodaert of Perleone attempted assassination (twice) on Sir Koloyok.
Sean traveled North to Lorient to give up his religion "Aspects of the Flame", and on his way, spotted Lilith. The one he had arrested so long ago. She was carrying several precious items with her. Seizing the opportunity, Sean arrested Lilith, and Sir Koloyok supervised the torture and acquisition of her five unique items. Some items were destroyed by Sir Koloyok and Sir Sean, for they were useless in their eyes. This ignited the anger of Sir Carlos d'Artois, whose armor was turned into horseshoes, as well as the ire of Perleone's nobles.
Perleone then declared total war against Yssrgard, seeking compensation for each unique item lost or destroyed, and desiring the forced migration of Yssrgard away from the South. Whilst Yssrgard's realm council were working on a peace plan to compensate Perleone, King Marchusson's army had started attacking, looting and taking over the city of Xavax. Food was scarce, and thousands of peasants died of starvation. Perleone then took control of Xavax, likely, for the huge amount of gold it produced.
Yssrgard's forces then strengthened their position in their capital of Itorunt, building up militia. Not able to attack Itorunt head on, Perleone then looted and turned Priotness rogue. They then went on to do the same to Ejarr Puutl - Yssrgard's bread basket. They wanted to starve the besieged city of Itorunt out. Thousands of peasants died through Perleone's actions.
Knowing that Yssrgard would be all but destroyed, and them along with the city, Sean and Koloyok fled by night, riding swiftly for the coastal city of Jariedma. Perleone's forces tried to pursue them, but the brothers in arms had embarked on a ship sailing Eastwards already.
Sean and Koloyok landed several days later on the coast near Fontan city, and joined the realm of Shadowdale. He won an election to become the Tormentor of Shadowdale.
He was made Earl of Greatbridge, and was Tormentor for 3 seasons.

Sean Dixon, Tormentor of Shadowdale, Earl of Greatbridge meets his challenger Koloyok Sethar, Cauldron Master of Shadowdale, Earl of Commonyr for the agreed training match.
Koloyok has decided to use the 'trick moves' strategy while Sean has chosen the 'overrun' strategy, giving Koloyok the advantage. After a series of blows, Koloyok wins the training match. But that winning blow was deep and into a soft spot. Sean has been seriously wounded!
Sean was critically wounded with a gaping slash running down his left side.
A day later,
The healers say your condition is improving. They tell you that they have the internal bleeding stopped, and hope that they'll be able to bring down your infection soon. Your wounds are still very serious, and you are slipping in and out of consciousness. The healers are doing their best, and say they think you will probably recover, but they cannot tell you how long it may be.
A day later,
The healers say your condition is improving. They tell you that the infection is going away, and you should be better in a few more days. You are still wounded, and the healers say you should make a full recovery, as long as you stay in bed for a few more days. ...

Going Rogue
Sean brutally attacked Kryss an adventurer of Eponllyn and then attacked Caligan nobles.This angered nobles all around and tensions were strained. Knowing he was going to lose his Tormentor title in Shadowdale, he transferred ownership of Greatbridge to Eponllyn.
However, King Daizen Tideweaver immediately decided the areas of Greatbridge and Commonyr to be turned rogue. Sean was banished from Eponllyn. He and his special forces battled their way northwards through Ashforth and then Salta, and hastily boarded a ship there.
After a long and perilous journey, in which several of his men fell sick and died from starvation, Sean arrived in Yssrgard.
Yssrgard Again
Reunited with his long time friend Sir Koloyok, he settled in the estate of the Obsydian Study, with Harl Dolan as Exalted Overlord. It seemed nothing had changed…
