Aaravos was born in and grew up in the settlement of Irrinor. His mother was a wood elf who was a part of the forest guard. His father was a dark elf. He has one dark elf brother who was a year younger than him. He spent his childhood learning about the world and exploring nature. When he was 15 he and his brother went exploring nature. They found an old ruin with a Necromancer and undead inside. His father rushed to help but both his father and brother were turned into undead and remained here. He then rushed home to get his mother, but it was too late. She managed to defeat the necromancer, however she had to destroy the ruins and all the undead in the process. His life has been peaceful since then.
