Born in a small hamlet on the edge between the Rostland and the Stolen lands. He grew up without a father, at least he died very close to when he was born, his mother would never say what happened but it was probably bandits.
Spent a long time apprenticing under a mage, he lived a content life, his master helping various people in town with small tasks that could be helped with magic, eventually he learned to help as well.
However this wouldn't last as eventually the hamlet, like anyone too close to the Stolen lands, was attacked by Bandits. His mage master could see that they would not win, and so told him to run north, as far as you could. He never saw their family nor your master again, and swore revenge on the bandits of the stolen lands. he learned how to fight as well as keep up on his studies, so when he heard about the contract to head into the stolen lands, he thought it was time the bandit's finally paid their debt. He would make it a better place for sure.
On his time in Rostland, while he wasn't well off his magic got him a fair amount of income for someone so young. He used most of it to acquire more knowledge of magics but eventually when he was 15 he met an Old Retired Aldori Swordlord by the name of Mathew Alderberg, he had been retired forcefully and so had fallen into poverty due to an accident involving a trainee. He however warmed up to the kindness offered to him by this teenager who had helped him with some chores after finding out he was an Aldori sword lord. He gained most of his knowledge of swordsmanship from Alderberg.
When he heard about the Charter to go back into the Stolen Lands he concluded his tutelage with Alderberg, and told him he needed to do this, but would always remember him, and so he set off to return home and take it back.
