While the son of one of the wealthiest merchants in Kresain, Rayne still grew up running with gutter rats and thieves. From them he learned how to throw knives, pick pockets, and the art of acrobatic escape. Despite all this, Rayne also managed to covertly pay for whatever his gang took.

Because his mother died when he was very young, Rayne developed a close relationship with his father, Sarem. Sarem had a fairly “hands off” approach to parenting. He let Rayne do almost whatever he wanted…as long as he was willing to live with the consequences. He never paid off Raynes debts (if he were foolish enough to acrue any), and he almost never bailed him out of trouble.

This policy wasn’t malicious. Sarem loved Rayne very much, he just thought that the best way for Rayne to learn from his mistakes was to fully feel the effects of them.

Under most circumstances Rayne learns and lives with the consequences of his decisions, but when his hand becomes temporarily invisible, and a religious organization, the Order of Trel, co-opts him into a centuries old conflict with magicians, he finds himself in a place where simple street tricks can’t save him.
