Thessalys was born the 23rd of Lowsun in the ruins of Old Vassos. His father, Craetokis Psaros served as powerful defender of the Wanderers He fought in many battles defending the tribe with notable characters such as Ezekiel Malachi, Enasiris, and Allessandro Rogan. Upon finding the ruins of Vassos, a selected group of guards entered the ruins, exterminating any threats to life. From there on, a city guard was established to protect their new refuge. Cristana Ageleros Psaros, mother to Thessalys, was a healer for the Wanderers. She aided Craetokis back to health after a fierce battle, and they grew into a loving relationship. Thessalys was a boy nurtured by his mother's care and his father's authority. He spent much of his childhood training with his father, passing on the skills of one great fighter to the next great fighter. Thessalys did not receive a formal education, emphasizing his martial training above all else. By the age of 18, Thessalys official joined the ranks of the Vassoan Guard, surpassing the tests normal recruits were given. He wore a more traditional plate armor his father scavenged from the Vassoan ruins. In his service, he defended Old Vassos from countless threats and won the recognition of his fellow guardsmen such as Alekto Damazan and Proponis. His parents succumbed to old age while in his early years of service. They were proud to see their son a successful guard for the new civilization they began. In their passing, Thessalys reassured them he would protect all that they worked so hard to establish. Thessalys felt sorrow when his parents died with weeks of one another. He turned to religion for answers to questions a sword could not solve. He started listening in on the Vasilian crier and attended their rituals. As a human Vassoan, he felt aligned with the Vasilian belief.

By age 33, he fell in love with the young Reylana Drifwin. After a successful night capturing ruthless brigands, he swayed the young wench, Reylana with gentle admiration and heroic stories. They felt a connection grow that neither could tame. After several flagons of distilled tree sap and good company, Thessalys and Reylana made love in the rented room of the tavern. This began a month-long love affair outside of wedlock. Despite Vasilian teachings of sex, Thessalys was ready to give his all to Reylana, even his seed. Upon discovering Reylana was pregnant, Thessalys was truly overjoyed. Reylana felt she was not ready to have a child, but agreed to be housed by Thessalys during her pregnance. In Thessalys's household, Reylana was miserable; Thessalys has too many rules and had a particular way of doing things. Feeling trapped, Reylana left shortly after giving birth to Benedis. She left Vassos to avoid humilation of bearing a child outside of wedlock or to avoid the mundane life of a house wife. Thessalys was angered and heartbroken. He had no choice but to raise the child alone. Thessalys was able to land a job as quartermaster for the Guard, bringing Benedis along since he had no one else to look after him. He practically raised Benedis in the barracks, training him as Craetokis had of Thessalys.
