Grew up alongside many brothers and sisters.
Since they weren't very wealthy, everyone had
to work to make ends meet.
He hated watching his siblings suffer, and
so decided to learn the art of alchemy to
make a living.
After a mere three years, his intellect and abilities surpassed even that of the world's most renowned alchemists.

So great was his skill that he soon amassed a sizeable following of admiring apprentices.
But in a world without words, none of them could quite keep up with his genius.
While he tried his best to communicate through simple vocalizations and invented scripts, these would mysteriously vanish as soon as they manifested.

Determined to find an answer, he set off on a journey, his carefree smile masking confident conviction.

As if guided by a divine hand, the Caster eventually found himself standing before the Great Crystal.
