Biography
Teveriel was born in Gridania to Celondor, a Wailer, and Celinne of the Oak Atrium. As a child, he was frail and sickly, often requiring the assistance of the conjurers' healing arts. It was whispered that Teveriel's mother had done something to anger the elementals, and that his sickness was some manner of retribution. Celondor was quick to silence such rumors, and they soon faded along with the boy's illness. This childhood malady, although seemingly cured, would leave its mark upon the adult Teveriel, leaving him with a relatively poor constitution and a lingering pallor, as well as a nearly claustrophobic aversion to confinement. He still lapses into uncontrollable and often debilitating coughing fits; he must regularly take an herbal concoction to combat it.
His need to stay indoors also contributed to his becoming quite the bookworm in his early years. Teveriel soon gained an insatiable appetite for books - any books, all books! For the young Elezen, his time spent reading in quiet study was an escape from a dismal reality. This was in stark contrast to his two older brothers, Aelurian and Navarre, who followed in the footsteps of their martially proficient father, but wanderlust and the allure of adventure soon took them both far from Gridania.
Teveriel, for his part, readily took to scholarly pursuits and soon began an apprenticeship at the Fane, gaining a higher understanding of the elements and the healing arts. Eventually he joined A.E.T.H.E.R., an academy devoted to adventuring, as an academician where he conducted research on flora, fauna, and alchemical applications thereof in addition to continuing his studies at the Fane.
Through the academy, he came to know much of the world outside the Shroud, working closely with his fellow scholars until its disbandment. With the threat of war rising, he soon joined the ranks of the Everwatch. Under Oskar Helvig's tutelage he found himself overcoming his physical limitations. At the same time, he also grew increasingly distant from his comrades, often disappearing for days at a time until, finally, he was never seen again - not even by his family - during the Sixth Astral Era.
