His entire family, including both his parents and his younger sister were killed in the blaze. He scrounged the family home for any remaining belongings and what little money that they had that survived.

He will ever secretly hold a grudge against The Imperial Legion for the deaths of his family. After Hearing of the Grand fair of Ves, he decided to return to his old homeland to see for himself how things had changed.
