Background

Torkel lived a carefree life until his mother told him of his fate to become a wizard. Torkel was taken then left to be tutored by a Redcap and took well to his new life of adventure and magic. His apprenticeship was less happy for Grimlakin was a cold and demanding mater. While still an apprentice, Torkel took to the Watchers who protect Britain from supernatural harm. During his Gauntlet, Torkel recklessly challenged a Faerie Knight to a dual and lost. His mater reject the ransom and his life force was slowly drained by his Faerie captor. Torkel oath was not forgetten by the Watchers. Everyday a Raven would fly to his tower window and give him one feather. These feathers he painstakenly sewed into his cloak, and after seven years labor he donned his cloak and flew to his freedom in the form of a Raven.
