History: Sold as a small child to a slaver, Rivaan was an assistant, and all too frequently test subject. He eventually earned his freedom when his former master disappeared.

He cannot deal with unfamiliar people for more than a few minutes at a time and if they persist he will grow angry at them.

History: From birth he was tutored by a cruel and relentless mentor. Since his father passed away years ago, his mother had doted on him, and he came to think her himself as special and better than other people in town.
