Born into the Lonliness of being the son of High Lord Azreal al'Leoric, Ravin grew up unfulfilled and depressed.To help overcome the pain of solitude, he trained in the arts of war, hand-to-hand combat, and the Old Tounge.
But still, he felt alone and cold. So, one night, he stole away from the comfort of his home to seek out some sort of comfort in his world. Hhe knew it wouldn't be easy, but with his knowledge of combat,he knew he would succeed......at any cost.
He ventured to Camelyn,hoping to fing something, or someone, to help him. There he met a young andorman named Jeren al'Mora. Jeren was there visiting his uncle after his family was slaughtered by Darkfriends. There Ravin met Jeren's cousin, Miriam. She was a beautiful young girl with sparkling eyes and long, dark hair, but most of all, she made the depression leave his soul.
All was well in his life for the first time ever.They moved back to Tear together, and lived in harmony.....until the Dragon came. Ravin helped in the fight to stop the Dragon, and in the battle, lost all that he was, all he ever had that really made him love life..he lost his Miriam in the battle.He found her raped and battered body in there home, Still clutching to the knife she so desperately used to defend herself. He suddenly felt all the forgotten anger and depression flow through him.
As he stood there crying, and pondering what to do, he decided to meet up with Jeren in Camelyn,who was preparing to venture to the White Tower.
And so,he traveled to Camelyn, informed them all of Miriam's death, and began the journey to Tar Valon.He and Jeren soon came upon a tall fiery haired, man dressed in what seemed to be very worn leather. He said his name was Kain, then began saying something or another about who his mother and father were, and then about the Jindo something. After that he began asking us to where we were going.I replied, "we are on the way to the White Tower".Jeren bluntly said,"I'm with him". As we rode horses, Kain told us that he would walk. We told him that we had plenty of horses yet he refused. A strange people,these Aiel...
As they progressed onward to Tar Valon, the three became good friends. Jeren and Ravin even began to understand Kain's mumblings about his family,and this"Ji' toh". Ravin felt that even though they neared Tar Valon, that his story had just begun....
Ravin has just Learned from a famialy friend that he is not true Tearian. Before his parents died,they told this friend to offer him the truth. He was brought to Tear shortly after his birth. He was sold as an oddity to the High Lord Azreal, whom all his life he knew as father.The reason for his being an oddity was his completely white eyes( which He had always dismissed as a sort of albinisim), and his flowing, silver hair, which he had even as an infant.
His "mother",took pity on him,and raised him as her son.These "oddities" also contributed to his lonliness, since his father didn't really consider him a son. Azreal never actually told him this,but he could always sense it in him,just as he could sense what others were thinking.
To this day,Ravin doesn't know where he comes from,or who he really is. Even though he still wears the Title of Seargent-at-arms,of the third Tearian Cavalry, he will seek out others like him, and try to learn who he is.
He has recently been bonded to Ninaeve.
