History: Abad was born into a poor family. Growing up, he dreamt of becoming a Adept, to bring honor to his family’s name.

His parents died when he was young, and he was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage. Abad grew up in the orphanage, tormented by the older kids and famished from lack of food.
