--------------------
Zwain came to Sandpoint as part of a family merchant caravan some 12 years ago. Attacked by goblins, his family was killed and he was severely traumatized. He was taken in by a fine family in the city and eventually took an apprenticeship as a glassblower to the Kajitsus. He wasn't very good at it, due to his ... eccentricities, but he still has a fondness for glass-made art. A few years later, he found his calling studying arcane matters, picking up some old Thassilonian texts left by his family in a false bottom of his clothes chest. Combined with his own issues, it led to his fascination with the mind and sent him towards studying what little he could find on Thassilonian magic and artifiacts

Zwain (called the Insane behind his back) is "touched". He cannot recall his background at all due to a blow to the head, and has created multiple possibilities for who he is ... and he plays them to the hilt regardless of how inappropriate it may be. Chelaxian nobility, aspiring talentless opera singer, salt merchant, Sczarni fortune teller (female), and warehouse thug are his current personas. Combined with a unique perception that overinflates the minor issues and downplays serious ones, Zwain is an odd one. His strong sense of morality and his knack for magic are the things that have kept the people of Sandpoint enamored of him and prevented them from having him committed.

Every once and a while there's even a dose of sanity in there, but no one really knows who Zwain is or rather ... was.
