His parents were miners who had been struck rich by discovering a large gold mine. In school, he gained no friends and was looked down upon by the teachers for his selfish behavior. His parents seeing his private misery decided to buy him "friends". These "friends" usually were poor Dwarves trying to find there place in this world. They were constantly caught stealing and were often replaced. This repeated until something happened that would change his life forever.

Spoiled beyond belief, he become ravenousness for gold. God, seeing his greed spoiled manner, came down to him in Aegis. For salvation, Dwarves must rid themselves of greed. God concocted plan to see how far the race had come, and decided to test Fal'on. Late at night, God came down to Fal'on laying in his bed. Awakened startlingly, Fal'on opened his mouth to shout but, seeing God, he quickly grew speechless. Frightened before God, Fal'on cowardly began trying to repent for his sins. On his hands and knees he cried and asked for God's forgiveness. When God spoke, Fal'on felt it as more as "feelings" than "words". God left him with a diamond. A diamond so grand and large that it put all other diamonds to pity. If Fal'on had been more patient, less greedy, he would have read the note attached. The note attached said that the money made by this diamond was meant to be gave to the poor and that any man who did not give the poor their share would be punished.Not wasting any time, Fal'on ran to the trading post and traded in the diamond so he could reap he benefits. But before he could, his eye sight became fuzzy, and he slowly faded into darkness.

When he woke, he could not remember what happened. But that was not what he was thinking of. He found himself in a jail sell. Looking around, he saw lava, ghasts, and hoards of ghost working ad infinitum. In front of him he saw for what seemed like forever, he stared at the pools of lava a the misery of the ghosts. He then noticed God. Standing before Fal'on, Fal'on trembled "Is this the Nether? Have a sinned enough to get myself here." God answers. Fal'on is given a choice. Stay here and be damned to the Nether forever, or to be salvaged with a burden back in Aegis. Fearfully, Fal'on decided he did not want his life to end. He missed the cold stone of the underground, the large structures constructed by his brethren. He gave into God's might and decided to be salvaged. His burden was to help the poor, weather it was food, water, or shelter he had to help them at all costs.
