At fourteen, his mother got sick and dad needed to get food, so he went to hunt in the Icy mountains where they lived. I went with him, and I am the only one who came back. Wargs attacked and his father saved Winderlin from this attack by fighting them off while he ran. The body was never found. He now sees, through god, and will never run away. His mother eventually got better, and is still alive and remarried, but the Step father was abusive. He would beat his mother and all he could do was hide under the table with his child brother, Veren. Sofia, his mother, was beaten so bad she needed medical help. The next day, His step father, Marcus Erin, got into A argument. Eventually, it got heated. he punched Winderlin, so he fought back, and eventually stabbed his Step father. As he crippled to the floor, bleeding and unable to be saved, Winderlin Prayed. He prayed for forgiveness. As he died. He soon left town as an outcast to his people at 19 because of the crime. He wandered to Arcas, and by this time, he had devoted himself to God and was A paladin. he was pure, and will not forget his bloody past. He was ready. he was devoted to Xan.
