Background

Alibeth Wurren was born into the famous Metagalapan merchant family, son of Dareth and Silena. His lineage never accounted for much in his life, neither of his parents working administration or in the family business. The first years of his life were spent in ignorant bliss with his mining parents. The Sidereals found him at a young age, taking him from his home to Yu-Shan at the age of five. The one who both found him, and trained him down the path to be a Chosen of Secrets was Hammer of Paradise, an Independent Chosen of Battles. Hammer never pushed Wurren into any faction, the young man drifting his way into the Golden Faction after some years. He exalted only recently, during training with his Sifu. Since that time, he has gotten more involved with the Convention of Wood, bringing him more into the fold of the Gold Faction. When not on assignment, he spends his time in the East, making friends in Lookshy. It's there he has his acquaintances, with a small newspaper that he writes freelance for. His curiosity for new knowledge carries over into his Resplendent Destiny, Barlet of the Written Deed, where he passes himself off as a freelancer reporter. His Sifu's most recent task has sent him back to the East, to look over a small group of newly exalted Lunars, and push them towards their Solar mates.
