His backside is sublime and he has a bitching phoenix tattoo. Ahem. His real name is Seridels'a Hyskaris. He was born from a rava viera mother and a moon keeper father. His mother is a gleaner who specializes in botany, and his father is a scientist who helps regulate Labyrinthos' weather systems.

He grew up in Labyrinthos, but went to the Studium in Sharlayan when he was older. He was a pretty dutiful student with a talent in botany and alchemy. Initially he was going to become a professor, but then the wanderlust hits - he studied to become a sage, then left Sharlayan to see the world.
