A Sharlyan student on the General Aetheric Studies track, he was bound
for Vylbrand as part of his training before his ship was raided by the
crew of the Antelope. When they realized he was familiar with healing
magic, they brought him on board. After he got over the initial shock of
being kidnapped and put to work, he decided he kind of liked the
seafaring life (if he ignored the worst parts of it). It was way more
interesting than school.
