Galwynn was born and raised in Shelzar, at least that was what he was always told. Yet nobody could ever adaquately explain why his parents were dusky skinned and dark haired, like most native Shelzari, but his skin and hair were pale. He looked my like a savage from Albadia. At age 14 he discovered a note in his father's papers which indicated that he was adopted but that he must never learn of his true parentage.
He picked up his few belongings and left Shelzar that same day, looking for the truth. Two years later he is still looking. His sorcerous powers mark him as a scion of ancient Lede but he knows little else about who he truely is. He studied briefly at the Glammorhill War College, but his desire to learn who he is soon led him to leave the school. Now his search has lead him to tha Calistian border where he believes he may find some answers.
