As part of establishing his residency in Piedra Oscura, he became the apprentice of the mysterious oracle and goblin who lived in the twisted tower just out of town. He lived with her as a recluse for years, studying under her and learning what he could about magic and the disappearance of the stars. In the four years he spent in her care, they tool a number of sojourns away from the village to collect research, which has resulted him being banned from a number of libraries along the eastern coast. Despite the extended time in Piedra Oscura, he only made one friend while in Piedra Oscura, a half-orc named Willa Rivera, though he did also enjoy the time he spent with Peat Moss, the witch's stone golem familiar.

In search of a chronurgist from his past named Darling, she ended up being much closer than he initially thought. He connected the dots about a month into traveling with the group and discovered that his long lost friend was actually Valentine all along. With the encouragement of secrets revealed earlier to Dr. Theodoric Floralis and Dorian, he used every ounce of courage he had to tell her, and through her sheer force of will, she was able to remember his face and his true name.

He was once a boy named Sorrel Murin.

[OC: God there's so much deep lore that I can't post and it kills me.]
