Gladius was a young man born to a couple of Shienaran farmers who loved him deeply. His whole life he worked on the farm togheter with his parents, learning to love and care for the land. Growing up he learned to appreciate the land and its nature as well as working on it, one day while out on the fields they saw thugs approach and his father sent him to hide in the woods.
The marauders, they set the fields afire, and though his parents fought them they were too many. Gladius parents were killed and his father as such couldnt come for him, after a night and day in the forest Gladius came out to look for his parents. He found them killed on the burned fields, the farm had gone to the flames.
With nothing else to do he started walking the road, their farm has been in a lone corner of the country and he didnt know the land far outside where he lived. After some days on the road he cloapsed from lack of food and litle water, to his luck a traveling blacksmith passed by and found him. The blacksmith stopped and when he found the boy alive he took him to his wagon giving him water, then made camp and prepared food for him. After making sure there was no real injuries to the boy he let him rest, the next day he took him along with him and listened to the boy's history.
Upon hearing that his family had been killed and their home burned he took the boy in and treated him as his own. Together the two of them traveled the world, the blacksmith taught Gladius his craft, and as the years passed Gladius went from being an aprentice to being the man's partner. Gladius showed to have a talent for the craft and the time came when he couldn't learn more from the blacksmith but rather learned from trying and failing by himself.
14 years later Gladius was becoming a master in his craft, however his teacher and mentor was growing old and had litle time left. The blacksmith didn't any longer have the health to travel the road, so he gave the wagon and tools to Gladius, then used his saving to buy a small smith in a little village by the Kintara Hills.
Gladius was sad the day he left the blacksmith, but respected his decision and said good bye before traveling on alone. It was in a village in Arad Doman working on the local nobleman's horses he came to meet the eyes of a girl. From the moment their eyes locked, he knew she was his destiny.
