Dylan answers "Growing up I had aspirations of being a cavalier, but a cleric saw me shed light into an object and said my ability was granted by Tulis and asked to train me about the age of ten. They said yes and that was the last time I saw my family. It was there that I learned of all my abilities, most of which came from Tulis. The family farm was raided a couple months before I finished my training. When I went back I learned my siblings were not there and left on their own career path a year or so before."
Fighting back tears as he remembers fondly his childhood he continues. "Now I roam from city to city helping most everyone I can. I do have a particular fondness for the orphans. Even though I lost my parents later in life, I had not seen them since I was 10 so most nights I feel like an orphan. There are some nights I just feel alone. That is when I rely on my friends and do most of my work with the orphans. There are some nights I think to myself, 'it would be nice to just settle down somewhere'. But I have so much good to do in the world yet, and I don't want anyone to get too close if anything should happen to me.
I have seen Inara from the orphanage cast a few glances my way and turn away when I look. I don't want to get to close for I don't know how long I will remain in this town or if I will survive helping to fix this town. It is ironic, you say I have command over people in battle, but most of the time I feel alone. "
