Background: Gandin was born to a human nobleman named Garrote Ordove and an elf named Faera. Faera was a capable huntress and warrior and managed to work her way, after a couple years, into the position of the Protector of Garrote. Being so close to the nobleman, constantly accompanying him, and their mutual attraction led to the inevitable; a half-elf child. At this point, Garrote already had one son, named Rolland. However, the mother had died, and as such Garrote remarried to Faera. Rolland remained next in line of succession, but Garrote quickly began to spoil the young Gandin.

Faera turned from Protector to a mother in addition and began educating him what the humans could not, namely Elvish and Dwarvish, though she never spoke of her home or her past in any detail. Garrote's choice of mentors taught Gandin the history of their people and Common. They taught him manners, etiquette. They taught him how to speak in a way befitting his status. This was all around the age of seven or eight. That was when something terrible happened. 

One night, Rolland went to talk to his step-mother Faera, mostly to ask her if she would be willing to divulge her past to him, when a group of eight elves broke into the room, the guards outside already dead. Rolland, heavily outnumbered, took a heavy beating. Faera, despite her vicious skills, could not beat them, and, according to Rolland later, didn't put up as much a fight as he believed she could have. They took Faera alive and escaped without losing any of their own. 

Garrote grew bitter in the time that followed, and he began to believe that Faera had planned it, that the elves were an extraction force meant to bring her back to the home that no one seemed to know about. Garrote believed that she had tired of him, and, as he believed elves are wont to do, decided to move on. In the following years, he banned Gandin from talking in Elvish, wearing the half-elven clothes Faera had made for the young boy, and talking to any elves. When Garrote spoke of Faera, he always spoke of her flaws, how she had secretly hated him and used him for his wealth. Garrote quickly began to favor Rolland, abandoning most of Gandin's mentoring and outright disallowing any lessons that could possibly put elves in a positive light.

 Gandin, easily impressionable at his age, took to it quickly. He became ashamed of his half-elven heritage. He took measures to appear more human to ithers, from growing facial hair to dropping all usage of Elvish slang to avoiding elves and half-elves to even changing his graceful movements towards more human-typical gracelessness. Subconsciously, however, since he still remembered his mother with a little fondness, he began to resent Garrote and the way he spoke of Faera. It didn't help that, even though Gandin tried to be the human son Garrote wanted, he simply couldn't change himself like that, so Garrote increasingly avoided him in favor of Rolland and began growing almost actively spiteful towards Gandin, who he saw as a reminder of Faera. By the age of 26, Gandin had enough. Rolland was the senior child and also a human pureblood, meaning Gandin would never surpass him, and his education had stuttered to a stop, leaving him as unable to defend himself and care for himself as one of the higher up servants of Garrote. So Gandin took what money he could from his father and spent it all traveling far away. Gandin still did everything he had done before to impress his father, but now also was angry with his father, leaving him alone in the world. Only Rolland had been sympathetic, but he hadn't dared endanger his position close to Garrote. A year later, and, now with some worldly knowledge under his belt, he has arrived at Gaia's Frontier.
