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

To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Theriatis. He has drifted from career to career and currently works as a Engraver.
