Jaired (platinum)

Backstory/Origin
The subject of Jaired's parentage was always a rather taboo subject. His mother was a half-sylvan, half-Tehir seer and was already considered an anomaly within the Tribe considering her talents. She herself came to the tribe at a young age through trade and she soon gained respect as a shaman and eventually became considered one of the tribe's leaders. It was in fact one of her visions that lead her to Jaired's father, whom was a disgraced Palestra that had gotten lost in the Sea of Fire while attempting to track the demon that had been summoned by, and then killed his charge.
The Tribe took Jaired's father in and before long he was practically considered part of the tribe himself. It is uncertain how many years he lived with them, but eventually they picked up the trail on the demon he had been seeking. With the help of his new family they were able to track it down and gravely wound it, but they were unable to deal the final blow before it fled into the cursed ruins of Bir Mahallah. It was soon after this that they caught wind of a detachment of Faendryl that had been seen searching the Sea of Fire and were no doubt tasked with finding him and bringing him home to face the consequences of his failure. For this reason Jaired's father was forced to leave the tribe to protect them from the certain annihilation that they'd face, especially that of his unborn child since a Faendryl half-breed would never be tolerated. Thus the entire tribe was forced to secrecy and Jaired would not learn the truth until much later in his life.
