Born to a successful merchant in Absalom, Ezren spent his childhood in comfort and safety, only to have all that change when his father was charged with heresy against the god Abadar. Ezren spent much of his adult life attempting to prove his father's innocence, only to finally confirm his father's guilt. The revelation shook Ezren to the core, undermining his faith in family and church, and he abandoned both, setting out to find a new life. Despite his age, Ezren embraced arcane studies, a pursuit that swiftly revealed a true aptitude for the wizardly arts. With freedom and potency he's never enjoyed before, Ezren seeks to explore the world he so long neglected.
