Tairdo was an outcast from birth, his dark elf heritage caused him to be shunned by the elven community and being a half-elf, he was not always welcome among humans. His greyish pale skin tone did not instill a lot of trust in people.
Despite all of this, Tairdo managed to survive on the streets of Waterdeep. He had a knack for magic and a desire to learn. He would always find ways to get his hands on various books regarding the arcane arts. But without a proper teacher, he could never master much magic except for one spell; Dancing Lights this is his innate spell like ability
One evening, Tairdo stumbled upon a hidden library, little did he know, it belonged to Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors. While attempting to get his hands on a strange tome he found there, he was caught by the order’s librarian.
The ancient tome that he attempted to take was actually an intelligent book that was very selective of who could learn from it. To the Librarian’s surprise, the tome accepted Tairdo and allowed him access. The Librarian reported this to his master.
Intrigued by this discovery, Tairdo was brought into the fold as a student wizard of the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors. Tairdo excelled at his studies, taking great pride in his ability to learn new magic so fast. Unfortunately, his heritage prevented him from really socializing. Tairdo remained an outcast all through his training.
This time alone had its toll on Tairdo, he came to despise his heritage, he sought to destroy the drow. He began his research into their customs, their religion, even learning what he can of their language.
Eventually, Tairdo’s skill became known to other arcane organizations. Tairdo was recruited into a secret society of wizards. An order made up of the best students of all the arcane schools of Waterdeep. Sworn to protect the libraries of arcane knowledge of Waterdeep, and the rest of the Sword Coast.
To this day Tairdo continues his sworn duty to protect the arcane libraries of the world; As well as expanding their contents.
