Gin grew up in a small coastal village. He loved the ocean but found that odd things would happen to him when he swam. Whenever he did so, his fingers and toes became webbed, and his bronzed skin would change to a deep blue. Due to peoples reactions to his blue skin, Gin began to avoided the water and the queer looks that he got from the fisherman.
Gin and his mother were forced to leave his village when he was only a few years old, Gin's mother sought help in a nearby monastery. After speaking with the elders there they decided to permit him to join their order. As he grew, Gin found that he was much weaker than the other monk initiates, but he found that he had a very lithe body and seemed a tad faster than the others. It took some time, but Gin learned to take advantage of his speed. He moved quickly in his training, but still felt as though he was being treated as an outsider. During that time, he mother passed away which caused him a great deal of pain. Now both his parents were gone and he was alone in the world. Luckily, Gin had become an initiate for a sufficient time that they decided that they would take him in and provide him a home.
Due to his pain, Gin withdrew from most of the others at the monastery and focused on his martial arts and studies. It was due to these studies that he discovered some old records that the village he left as a child was the very village that Garavel’s caravan is to reclaim. From these records, he found that his father actually died in the village when whatever happened there happened. This came as a shock because his mother never spoke of Kelmarane and always told you that his father died when he was a child in a horrific fire. Now that he knows the truth, he is convinced that his true heritage remains hidden in Kelmarane. Gin wants to find out what really happened to his father, and why he is blue. All-in-all, Garavel’s caravan to the village is just the opportunity he's been waiting for.
He has asked to be given leave to figure out what happened at Kelarane. After a short councel, Gin was tasked with looking into his village for both personal reasons and why it has fallen into its current state.
