:D gladly :D !!
It's listed in his history, but in a nutshell, Raistlyn was raised in an elite order of rangers devoted to the protection of the Rift inhabitants from the wide array of monsters that lurk. Potential initiates are selected at a young age, mostly orphans, and undergo rigorous and extensive physical and mental training and conditioning in preparation for becoming monster slayers. Some, the more promising individuals, are subjected to mutagenic compounds that alter their DNA for more desirable, durable traits. Most do not survive the mutation process. Once their training is completed, they are generally solo, nomadic wanders that roam to every corner of the Rift and back again, hired by communities to get rid of particular monsters, taking contracts wherever they can find, but they certainly don't work for free. They are not honorable, duty bound knights, after all. They are generally regarded and treated as strange, social outcasts. That is not always the case, some rangers are able to integrate normally into living communities. Others choose a life alone on the Path, like Raistlyn. There are several different Orders. Most rangers return to their home Keep in the freezing months, waiting out the cold and training with each other and new potentials.
So currently, Raistlyn is trying to locate any members of his Order, and any other Riftians he knew before he crossed into Helovia a few years ago. :)
