Aldan was born to a life of what should have been luxury and privilege. But instead, he had to fight for whatever scraps he could manage from his stronger brothers and sisters. Physically weaker than most of them, his reflexes sharpened to allow him to gather what he could, and bluff his way out of trouble when needed.

His arcane powers manifested early and very swiftly, the privileges that were given to others were given to him as well as he started to prove his worth. But he was no sailor, and in a sailing house that didn't help his standing. But his draconic bloodline started to show and he began to take lessons from those who wondered if he was descended more closely from dragons than they had suspected.

An apt and willing student of the arcane, he learned quickly, and found he could pour more and more of his nature into what he could do. Power came easily to him with his natural charisma driving him, and yet, despite developing his powers, the bullying from his childhood has never really left him.

He wears finely cut traveler's clothes for the most part, wearing his noble garb only when there is a special occasion. Otherwise they are kept in his personal quarters.
