: Born A'Rhaya Moshantu to mixed-tribe parents, Rafiel's first memories are of his grandmother's manor in Gridania, where he spent his first few years with his parents before they had a cottage built on the outskirts of the city, away from the judgemental eyes of the people there. Living a quiet, idyllic life in that cottage left Rafiel with a deep appreciation for nature and its many gifts. However, tragedy struck when the Ixal began to expand their territory, eventually showing their faces on the boundaries of the Lihzeh's land. As his parents prepared a move back into the city for the family's safety, a group of Ixal bandits descended upon their home in the night, starting fires across their land and surrounding the house. Help arrived from the nearby Wood Wailers encampment, but the squad of warriors were not swift enough to prevent both of Rafiel's parents falling to the blades of the beastmen as they tried to barricade their young son safe inside. | : Born A'Rhaya Moshantu to mixed-tribe parents, Rafiel's first memories are of his grandmother's manor in Gridania, where he spent his first few years with his parents before they had a cottage built on the outskirts of the city, away from the judgemental eyes of the people there.

Biography
Childhood
- Born A'Rhaya Moshantu to mixed-tribe parents, Rafiel's first memories are of his grandmother's manor in Gridania, where he spent his first few years with his parents before they had a cottage built on the outskirts of the city, away from the judgemental eyes of the people there. Living a quiet, idyllic life in that cottage left Rafiel with a deep appreciation for nature and its many gifts. However, tragedy struck when the Ixal began to expand their territory, eventually showing their faces on the boundaries of the Lihzeh's land. As his parents prepared a move back into the city for the family's safety, a group of Ixal bandits descended upon their home in the night, starting fires across their land and surrounding the house. Help arrived from the nearby Wood Wailers encampment, but the squad of warriors were not swift enough to prevent both of Rafiel's parents falling to the blades of the beastmen as they tried to barricade their young son safe inside.
- After being saved by the Wood Wailers, Rafiel was taken back to Gridania under their care. After several months of silence, the boy of just ten cycles began the process of healing and allowed himself to begin to move on. He was allowed to train with the Gods' Quiver once his skill with a bow was proven, and through his persistent demanding to be trained in Conjury as his mother was, he also took on lessons in healing magicks.
Teenage
- Several years into his training with the Conjurer's Guild, Rafiel received the news that his grandmother had fallen ill and was soon to pass away. The young miqo'te began to visit her almost nightly until she died, and it was during this time that he came to understand the limits of healing magicks. The sole inheritor of his family's money, Rafiel returned to his training and continued on for years to come. At some point during his time with the Gods' Quiver, Rafiel met a Bard by the name of Jehantel, who instructed the eager young archer on how to rally his allies with powerful song magick. Taking to this as a true natural, Rafiel adopted this ancient art as his own and dedicated the rest of his time with the Gods' Quiver to furthering his skill with the harp.
Present
- Now a grown man, Rafiel still lives in the forest city he grew up in. He was very supportive of the Twin Adders when they were formed, and offered them his aid in their efforts to restore order to The Shroud. He currently works as a hand of the Seedseer Council, living life as an adventurer of Gridania while he is not fulfilling his duties to the elders. He's also a regular performer for ceremonies and events held in the city, and a face known to most Gridanian locals.
