Alair Murdoch was born in Norland to a couple of adventurous Highlanders who accidentally had him. His parents took care of him until he was 5 years old, but they abandoned him, because they wanted to continue living their adventures. Alair has heard nothing more from his parents and ventures out into the world in hopes of finding them. His parents were very close to the Forest Dwarfs of Hefrumn and were always telling him stories about there and about the inhabitants of the realm, such as the Cottonwoods.
Alair learned to cook, survive and do other basic things from an early age, since he had no company. This loneliness has led him to have a fear of being alone forever and so he is very friendly with everyone. At 18, he began exploring the world in hopes of becoming a better person and gaining knowledge.
