Ciaran was raised in the Mordant spire by his elven mother and her extended family. His mother never spoke in detail about his human parent, but it was clear that the memory of him caused her much pain. Ciaran's childhood was not hard, but still not a happy one, as he was always treated as a lower class by most of the elves outside his family, his peers included.
In childhood, he seemed to share the innate gift of magic shared by his Mordant Spire kin, but once he started apprenticeship, he soon encountered some sort of block, not able to progress past the first few cantrips. Before his final exam, mother gave him a gift - a tattered belt which she said was the only memento of his father kept by her. Surprisingly, on that day he was able to replicate a spell which only practiced wizards are able to cast, significantly boosting the limits of his body.
Some of the elders of the Spire were familiar with the phenomenon, but nevertheless disapproved, saying that this was a manifestation of a taint of his impure blood, rather than a gift. Ciaran got used to being ostracized for his differences, but still he realized that he doesn't have a very bright future at home.
So he set out in self-imposed exile, with the silent approval of his kin, in order to learn more about his ancestry and master his strange powers.
