Angus was raised in a church of Irori where his seemingly unremarkable physique was highlighted as he grew up, he took up training as a wizard specialising as a transmuter but unwittingly gave up conjuration and enchantment magic in the process a price that was used by the temple trying to make him face his limitations.

This backfired because in Vudrani a person's name consist of three names the first is his given name, the second his father's name and the third his family name.

Angus doesn't know either of his parents' names nor their family name which is why he chose to accompany a friend to Riddleport and has been beset by fear ever since coming into sight of the town where he was born and where he was passed into the hands of the Church of Irori.

He originally clad himself in leather armour but chose to relinquish this for the clothing of a scholar his preferred profession partly due to his wizard training which was somewhat different as he was taught arcane dueling by his instructor to help overcome the misperceived physical handicaps his life in a temple of Irori had imposed upon his personality.

Strangely he has become less interested in his past than by the growing sense of dread he feels ever since coming into sight of Riddleport, he agreed to go to the opening of the Golden Goblin in the hopes he could persuade his friends to leave the town before it was too late and looks upon the evening as being quite probably the last night he'll spend in the town...
