Jalek Eltheerel was a half elf born in Silverymoon, his mother was Vanessa Eltheerel, and his father was an unknown hunter that plagued the Moonwood's ground, needless to say that Vanessa was cursed to have been alone in the Moonwood on the wrong day and time, when the hunting group appeared. From that encounter the Elf would get pregnant of a human male.
Despite that day, Vanessa decided to keep the child, so Jalek was born and raised in an elven community. He did have a hard time growing up in Silverymoon, as for the outside world he is called a Half-elf, a part of a community, an individual, while the elves called him a Half-Human, a crippled.
So Jalek was shunned by the elven people, seen as a rotten fruit that plagued the rest, and with him even his mother Vanessa would be looked down upon. As soon as Jalek reached the age of 15, he left Silverymoon and ventured off into Faerun, as a scholar, a traveler, an adventurer, a Bard. He would leave his name Eltheerel and be called Lankester.
He traveled the coastal cities of the Sword Coast before gaining interest in the eastern lands, gaining a name for himself as the man that ended the Caravan robbing in the Trade Way, which was in fact a mercenary group that intended on crippling relations between Baldurs Gate and Waterdeep, this act gave Jalek the title of "Wind Rider" for his acute use of the bow, and the fact he was never seen. After reaching the age of 22 he finally traveled East, crossing the great Anauroch desert and getting quite a bit of more fame and treasure, due to finding an important archaeological site near the City of Shade, the findings there would be worth a fortune. And so he went to the trade city of Phlan, where he lived for 5 years and had a wife and son.
Jalek "Wind Rider" Lankester would once again be haunted by his passed when his mother, Vanessa, reached him in Phlan. He was 27 years old, and his mother showed Jalek his half sister, Veronica Eltheerel, saying that Jalek had to keep her safe no matter the cost, and to not mention her existence. Vanessa would then apologize for everything that happened to Jalek.. and everything that would happen in tears, and then she left him.
The Bard was worried, worried for himself and his family, worried between his elvish family and his human family, but once again he left his home, and his human family, behind to protect his baby sister. Jalek traveled the Moonsea in search of a myth about the portal to another world... certainly the best place to keep a child safe would be in a place where no one knew them.
...Dead wrong he was.
