Viswall Vargasa was born to a traveling tradeswoman during an extended visit to house Vargasa, a highly prominent family among the nobility of the elves. The Nobility was put in an odd place, because while half-breeds were frowned upon, this boy would be the last heir of house Vargasa as his father, Maracel Vargasa, was an only child with no marriage prospects.
The patriarch of the family ultimately allowed the marriage to take place. Unfortunately, the union was short as Viswall's mother died giving birth to his younger sister Ivona.

This was to the great delight of his father. Maracel spent most of his time with his children, and when he found that his son had the same agility and natural ability as himself, he took great pride in training him in the art of fencing.

The circumstances of Viswall and Ivona's parentage were no secret in the area, however, and they learned quickly that once the boy came of age, they would no longer be welcome outside of the Vargasa house. So rather than try to do the impossible, Viswall, or V as he came to be known, and Ivona took to the visitors. They were often found in the company of tradespeople, explorers, and outcasts. One such outcast, Gisila, a half-elf like them, but matronly in age, would hold V's pointed ears with stories of her travels and adventures. Of all her stories, those about her humble beginnings as a slave and the freedom fighters who liberated her struck him deepest and he told his father as much.

So it came as no surprise to Maracel when V decided to do house Vargasa proud by leaving for Absalom to become a Pathfinder of the Liberty's Edge faction, finally putting his fencing training to good use.
