Grew up in Tassel, a small fishing village on the continent of Eridon. A simple bard, his village was raided by Mahtavan raiders. He was captured and met one of his captors. A woman by the name of Elsabeth De'Winter, a sailor and fighter of Vistria. He managed to convince her through his singing and performance as a bard that he was worth saving, and so she let him go. But now her life was in danger for releasing a slave. Together they fled back to Tassel but could not be sure they were safe, so he traveled with her to Stromheim. He auditioned to become a partner with another bard there named Greggor Longshanks. They all lived a meager life there for a while until he was forced to leave due to Elsabeth's theivery of a violin, which she was attempting to learn to be part of the musical group Ryan had formed with Greggor Longshanks. They fled through the northern route eventually making their way to Highcastle, and taking a ship across the river to Thaebin. They started to play there and most had never heard their style of music. It was intriguing and new. They instantly began getting a steady income. Once they had enough, they upped their game with new clothes and even a wagon. They decided to travel, visiting places like Crownhold, Foghaven, Highmeadow, Evermond, Halfhill, and Bridgelight. They decided to check out a town near Highmeadow called Vayle. There they met an older elf who liked their performance so much that he decided to offer them a spot at the elven harvest festival in Lothrin.

They played well, so much so that they were offered an annual spot on their harvest festival. There they met a young girl named Holly Lothloriel. She loved sitting up front when they played. She would ask them questions about how to play, and what they have seen and done. Eventually she became the fourth member of this group now called Azure Dreams. They spent the next months playing in Crownhold, till eventually they decided to travel up to fog haven.
