Birth
I was born in Chedu Rrhi'nn, the smallest of the seven Drow cities, to Anissa of House Aurielius. I was the second born of twins. Normally when twins, triplets, and such occur, only the first born is permitted to live. The other offspring are sacrificed to Lolth for the benefit of the first born. However, my father, Ancalagon, insisted I be spared. My older sister, Mara, was kept at Chedu Rrhi'nn, while I was sent to Szithlin, the largest of the seven cities.

Early Years (age 0-50)
I was raised in the House Aurielius crèche in Szithlin. My only close friend was a cousin named Akeena, who happened to be the daughter of Maharet, then Matron of House Aurielius in Szithlin.

Corps Years (age 50-70)
Typically, a young Drow spends fifty years in the city corps. Unfortunately, corps life did not agree with me, and I spent most of my time matching wills with my superiors. This tended to land me in many dangerous situations, some notable ones involving the Orthea Kyorl, holy guard of Lolth. Akeena, who was in the same unit as I, appealed to her mother, and Maharet had me removed from service after only twenty years.

Sargtlin of House Aurielius (age 70-257)
The Matron inducted me into the Aurielius Sargtlin, an elite warrior force of the House. While the training is much more rigorous than the corps, I adjusted much more readily to its regimen.

I became Captain of the Aurielius Sargtlin after only fifty years of service. I had serious disagreement with the then Captain, which led to a duel that I barely won. As a reward (or punishment, I have a hard time distinguishing the two), the Matron appointed me Captain.

I remained Captain for only 137 years. The first ten years was very trying, because there had not been a male Captain in over 700 years. I spent most of my time demonstrating that I expected no less from the unit and that I was capable of more than the previous Captain. Over the next 127 years, I earned the respect of the Sargtlin, Maharet and her staff, and most other members of note in the House. Unfortunately, my troubles with the Orthea Kyorl continued, resulting in some violent confrontations and a few thefts.

Then I found out who my father was.

Wanderlust (age 257- )
At his request, Maharet revealed to me that the legendary Ancalagon was my father. This forever changed my life. I immediately left Szithlin to travel to Ancalagon’s Citadel. Ancalagon had not been involved in Drow society for about 500 years.
