Backstory
He is a 123 year old Sea Elf from the Sea of Fallen Stars. He grew up in a small settlement deeper in the sea. When he was 78 the settlement was wiped out in a savage sahuagin attack while he was out exploring the depths of the sea. That was when he made the choice to leave the sea, and look for the Sun Elves in Silverymoon, to learn the ways of the surface dwellers. Maybe he could learn from them how to combat the savages better. He lived in Silverymoon for over 22 years, learning from the Sun Elves, becoming a Cleric of Deep Sashelas, and starting to study the ways of arcane magic. However, after his 100th birthday, marking his adulthood, his wanderlust took over and put his learning on hold. He missed the seas, and wanted to see more of the world, both above and below the surface. So he set out to Waterdeep, and found work as a navigator on a trading ship. He lived on trading ships for another 23 years, selling his ability as a navigator to as many ships as possible. Talking to the crews, getting to know seas, rivers, lands, and people. He had planned to return to his studies after his 125th birthday, but a year and a half before that, his ship was caught in a massive magical storm, that deposited him in unknown lands...
Personality
He is quite slow to act, as he tends to consider many options, but once a path is chosen will go to great lengths to complete it. He considers his word unbreakable, and is very loyal to his friends, even if he hasn't seen them for decades. He hates sahuagin with a burning passion, and is driven in large parts by revenge. He is not good in staying stationary for too long, a wanderlust always present. He trusts very slowly, and is very wary of outsiders, though once he accepts someone, they are forever part of his community.
