Dungeon Mapper

You live your life studying the layouts and locations of dungeons previously looted or in the moment of looting. You stood there as somewhat of a cartographer that never engaged to combat but watched from afar creating this mental map of all sorts of dungeons that you took part of in many parties as you hopped along party to party never sticking around if things got too boorish to your liking. As a dungeon mapper,how did you start this way, were you the son or daughter of a cartographer? Did you find it as a unique hobby growing up? Were you forced into mapping dungeons by a gang or guild? These questions can help flesh out your character.
