His family and siblings reside in Greendown. He got along well with his sibs. (Full siblings: Kid, Emir, Patric, Meed, Brook, Crest, Parents: Conleth and Helen, Paternal grandparents: Tobias and Umir, Maternal grandparents: Dereth and Kily).

Has had many friends as a kid including his siblings and eight or so young ones called Talias, Lalric, Kulieth, Olive, Tough, Flame, Ayett, and Connar.
