Ermiş was born in a litter of four to a devout of a deity called Theol, and was raised under the teachings of the transcendent god's philosophy. Believing the state of souls to be unnatural and blaming Helena for ruining them, but also blaming the gods and Legendaries for not repairing everyone's torn souls, he grew up with a seed of disdain towards mortal gods and full-souls.

Spending a large portion of his adult life as a travelling storyteller and mystic, his lifestyle of collecting stories and indulging in experiences soon led him to decide he wished to settle with a family. He one day met his future mate in the Forest Colony, a cat capable of reading human symbols. The two begin to work together on a story-recording project when they hit it off, and ultimately became the fathers of two mollies named Esra and Melisa.

Unfortunately, tragedy struck when Ermis one day returned from a walk to a desolate camp. With no answers from the Legendaries, Ermiş spent his time sheltering in the Valley distraught and disillusioned, eventually leading a small group of dissidents out into the storm under the false pretense of being guided by his higher self.
