Born into a broken family, Axel never knew either of his biological parents. Officially, he was born on the road between Aegrothond and the City of Sutica. This was the same road where his “father,” Gaunter, found him. With Gaunter, Axel traveled realms and regions as a mangy vagrant merchant of mirrors and glass. Axel has no sisters or brothers, and has been alone save for Gaunter his whole life. As he was on the road constantly, he never had many friends, but he could always rely on Milesi; a man who once kept him from starvation in the streets of Johnstown, for help if they met in passing. Everything Axel knew, he learned from Gaunter or picked up on his own, as even Gaunter would disappear for large chunks of time. Like Gaunter, Axel wasn’t interested in making his own romantic stories, but more so enjoyed watching them unfold between other people, especially when he had an enabling hand in it. After his father mysteriously vanished, this time seemingly for good, Axel lost his interest in peddling mirrors and instead decided to travel to Johnstown to meet old friends or make new ones to travel with. Secretly, Axel hopes to enlist with the Ludovars.
