Midget's parents were ambitious but reckless pirates who tried to steal a treasure chest from the wrong cave
the protector of the treasure chest turned out to be a mighty ocean witch who cursed their firstborn child with one less arm, one less eye, and with dwarfism
although his parents were allowed to return to their ship unharmed, his mother died during childbirth and his father soon died of grief
despite this, Midget grew up to be one of the fiercest swashbucklers to sail the open seas
