Raised by his elven mother in the wilds, Azavan was a brilliant craftsman at a young age. He was fond of making all sorts of knick-knacks and art, and crafted some impressive clothing and light armor as a young boy to make extra coin for his mother.
His human father was not present, as he was a passerby through the woods on travel when he met Azavan's mother. They shared a brief romantic fling for some days before he up and left with his party, thus leaving the mother alone with a half breed child.
Once Azavan was just shy of adulthood, the clan had taken a disliking to him and his mother, as she was a free thinker who spoke her mind and had a unique and welcoming admiration for the world, which the clan's sheltered ways could not accept. They were hesitant to grant Azavan his clan tattoos at the age of adolescence because of their distrust in his mother and his paternal heritage.
They accuse her of bringing an omen on their land and cast her into slavery in imprisonment for offering aid to an outsider when Azavan was nearing young adulthood. She was already on a thin line for bringing Azavan's father to their camps, as many of his human companions took advantage of other elven folk. She did not know he brought so much misery to their home and hoped only she would be burdened by the false hope of a life with a family. Instead, other elves had been impregnated, assaulted, and kidnapped. Those who survived and stayed with the clan had abandoned their half young whereas she kept her boy-- who was outcasted often for being a half breed.
Once Azavan was sent off on his own at 14, he did his best to survive off selling and trading crafted trinkets and goods. He was adopted by a charming tiefling bard, Garron, for the next 3 years, until one day Garron left for a job that he has estimated would only take a month, but had been gone for over half a year before Azavan finally gave up hope on his guardian returning, thus beginning his descent into thievery for easy money to continue to get by.
