History
Turin survived an attack at sea by a zaratan as a young child, floating on a piece of drift wood from Suq Bay until he reached shore along the southern region of the High Desert. He wandered for a week through the desert until a tribe of nomads found him.

He spent the next decade of his life with the tribe where he learned the skills of the desert riders. He discovered a knack with dealing with animals and was even able to soothe them with a touch.

His tribe was ambushed by the House of Dh'ib and Turin would have perished had Khafaz ibn Dahz not arrived with a compliment of Tajari soldiers to drive off the raiders. Khafaz planned on selling Turin as a slave but quickly discovered his useful abilities with animals and the ways of the desert. Turin worked with Khafaz since being rescued in the desert.
