## Biography

The third son of a Luan tailor, Valli Willon, **Bertell 'Darius' Willon** was born in 966 AR inside a log cabin in vast forest near the village of Carinhest, Lua. His family and friends called him Bertell, but in his authorship and publications he used the penname of Darius B.W. as well as in his signature. He was the brother of James, Kenneth, Hector, and Wemby. Bertell suffered ostrogensis imperfecta (OI) or a disease commonly known as brittle bone disease, which causes him to have a relatively shorter body compared to average elven male. It is assumed Bertell inherited the bone disorder from his biological father, since the symptom of the disease was not present in his mother. Bertell lived with his brothers and his mother from birth to 976 AR when he escaped from his mother's attempt on poisoning him; during the period of time where he lived with his family, it is believed that he and his siblings also experienced verbal and physical abuses from Valli and her boyfriends.

Eventually, Bertell enrolled and graduated from the academy. he started working at the royal library after his graduation and then landed a job of his interest at EF journals publishing company where he worked as a journalist and writer.
