History
Aberdeen was born in Eshpurta, Amn to a family of renowned jewelers and was expected to continue the tradition. However, he quickly grew to be bored of the profession. When he one day overheard of an adventuring company from Calimshan planning an expedition, he jumped at the chance to join them.[1]
During one adventure with his partner Rial Potjian, when fighting drow they encountered within the ruined city of Monrativi Teshy Mir, they caused a wild magic surge that transported them both far away to the ruins Myth Drannor. Soon after fighting their way out of Myth Drannor, they met a fellow diviner by the name of Saldo Presto. They came to adventure together for nearly a decade, until deciding to settle down in the city of Ravens Bluff. There they got a residence close to the city's Diviner's Guild and devoted much of their time to the study of tomes.[1]
After thwarting the plans of a Red Wizard of Thay that they had overheard in a tavern, the trio earned the respect of the Lord Mayor Charles Oliver O'Kane and were elected guildmasters of the Diviner's Guild by unanimous vote.[1]
