Background / Personal history: Background - Hermit 
Feature: Discovery
The quiet seclusion of your extended hermitage gave you access to a unique and powerful discovery. The exact nature of this revelation depends on the nature of your seclusion. It might be a great truth about the cosmos, the deities, the powerful beings of the outer planes, or the forces of nature. It could be a site that no one else has ever seen. You might have uncovered a fact that has long been forgotten, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history. It might be information that would be damaging to the people who consigned you to exile, and hence the reason for your return to society.
Backstory/Personal History - Xu'gol was first found on his father's doorstep swaddled in a basket, with 20gp and a note that said, "I'm sorry" from his mother. The son of a carpenter, he developed a fondness for learning at an early age. The forest near their village was where his father, Vukthug Trunk Splitter sourced the wood he used to build the furniture that was his trade, and taught Xu'gol various things about nature and the forest (which plants/berries were poisonous, healthy trees from sick, etc.). His father used some of the gold that was left with Xu'gol to provide him with books on various subjects to further his education, wanting more for his son than he had. Xu'gol had always been a...passionate sort, which of course, meant a temper. The first "rage" he ever had was in the forest with his dad, where he ended up punching a tree (large sapling more like) down. With the help of his dad and the village cleric, he eventually learned to control/use the anger, rather than it use him. Xu'gol had wanted to know about the world outside their village for years, and shortly after he came of age, and with a tearful goodbye (and a promise to return often) set out to see this world and make a name for himself (literally, in this case).
