Cangen was raised by himself after his family abandoned him. His father and mother didn't get on well and didn't look after him well enough. Therefore he turned towards the forest. The forest kept him fed with the fruit that it bears and also provided him with shelter. He was born north of Elvenesse with his traveller parents however he wishes to reconnect with his ancestors and the rest of his people in Elvenesse. He has a strong liking to nature and wishes to provide for other people in the same way that the forest did to him. He searches for a purpose now that he is mature and no longer wants to be on the run. He has encountered many dangers from roaming into unknown land which have scarred him mentally. He sometimes can't spell words correctly due to a lack of education but he is wanting to learn as much as he can once he finds a home. He has heard of The Wild Faith, and feels a strong connection to an unknown presence which he suspects is The Wild Faith and wants to follow this journey. Although, he is a big fan of Cerridwen and wants to live up to her by providing people with food and bountiful harvests.
