Rostam was born to a pair of cheerful academes of the Sincomakti School in Rozenport. As they were frequently engaged in studies. Rostam was raised by his 'extended family'--the Coppertree gnome collective of tinkerers that have done so much architectural and engineering work in the town of Rozenport. Through his parents, he learned a great deal in the arenas of natural science and the arcane, and from the Coppertree youths, he picked up a distressing habit of pranking the unsuspecting, usually resulting in a merry chase through the maze like streets.

One night his gnome friends dared him to help them sneak into the halls of Sincomakti. Foolishly, he agreed. They crept into room after room of unknown lore, until they found themselves in a chamber of strange geometry, and a strange pulsing that shook inside their minds coming from an irregularly shaped door, sealed shut. As if in a trance, Rostam was compelled to open each seal…his friends attempted to stop him, but he threw them aside with great strength…finally, he entered the darkened room off of the chamber.

What happened while Rostam was inside, or what he encountered, no one can say. His friends alerted professors and Rostam was eventually pulled from the room by an unthinking construct, frothing and screaming. Even when he was brought to lucidity, he whimpered about the 'things all over me and inside me', although nothing could be seen. He was only brought relief by arcane and esoteric tattoos upon his wrists, ankles, neck and hips to contain…whatever it was…that wriggled inside and outside of him, passing through dimensions to tickle at his nerves and muscles.

Now Rostam is…calmer, but his will has clearly been shaken by what he has been through. Something from beyond has latched onto his body and soul. As he cannot rid himself of it, he intends to study it and master it.
