History: When he was but 7 years old his parents immigrated from the west. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the forest to a summer home near a large cave.

His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the forest due to the painful memories there.
