Voi had a different childhood growing up than most other children, instead of living somewhere sedentary, like in a village or a town. He grew up in a caravan, his parents being its leaders after the previous leader retired to a quiet town. Voi and his parents stood out since they were foreigners who came from another land before Voi was born. They were initially hired as guards to protect the caravan and eventually learned to be a merchant after spending years with the caravan. But Voi never felt like a foreigner while living in the caravan since everyone in it felt like family to him, and they treated him well.  

Growing up, Voi traveled to various places and met many people while with the caravan. He was always curious about the lands and people that the caravan visited, and his parents satisfied this by buying him books to read while on the road. One curiosity Voi had was an interest in the afterlife. What happens after someone dies, and what happens to their soul? That question his parents could not answer, but one of the caravanners, an old merchant/mystic, started mentoring him on the subject and other related topics, learning much about it. Still, Voi was content with things, and things seemed good. 

But, one day, they were camping in a forest for the night. When bandits attacked them, despite the best efforts of the guards and his parents, Voi was told to run by his parents with some of the other caravanners and reluctantly ran with the caravanners into the night. Voi would survive, as would a few of the caravanners. By the time they ventured back to the caravan, everyone there, including the pack animals, was dead. Voi found his parent's bodies and cried over them. The surviving caravanners and later Voi would notice that, curiously, none of the wares were touched, and a message was written on one of the carts. You two would never escape us, Death to Betrayers. 

No one knew what that meant, and the survivors took what they could carry and walked to the nearest town. Voi was still saddened over their parents and the rest of the caravan's deaths and was perplexed by the message. What did it mean, and who in the caravan were they after? But it did not matter to him as most of the people he considered family were dead. It was clear that the bandits were more than mere bandits.

So after reaching the nearest town and recovering there, one of the caravanners adopted Voi. A middle-aged merchant by the name of Garth and moved to the merchant's hometown, where Voi would spend years with the merchant's family. But he could never forget that message on the cart and started training over the years to defend himself.

One day, while he was training, he started to feel weird, and as he hit the training dummy. Voi had a sudden vision of himself staring at an unknown figure, was hit by something, and exploded into a blast of unimaginable colors and intensities. As the colors blasted past him and he stared in awe. One of them, some kind of blue light, hit him square in the chest. He then snapped back to reality and stumbled down to the floor. Like something just hit him in the chest. Voi felt different and started to sense things near him. He soon discovered it was the people around him. 

Now realizing that the vision was something important, he decided to figure out what the vision meant and before he left town. He was given money by Garth to support himself in his travels. He ended up in Oratorio after feeling naturally drawn to it and wanting to see what awaited him there.
