Bio: 

An oft' repeated tale concerning Woodwind's childhood centers around the legend that one day he picked up an old flute and taught himself how to operate it by blowing breathy, dischordant notes for hours on end.  The boy played his instrument so incessantly, everyone took to calling him "Woodwind" and no one remembers his real name!

An active child, Woodwind loved being outdoors and showed signs of exceptional fighting talent.  Growing up in a wealthy household as the son of two servants, many relatives thought that indentured servitude would prevent any opportunity to expand on his obvious gifts.  However, as the wars with Azgaril and Kameron dragged on, Illithia's military fortunes faded and as the situation for their armies became increasingly desperate, Woodwind's master sent the boy  to assist  a trusted uncle in his fight on behalf of the family.  A cunning warlord named Lynden Velez had been successfully defending a strategic valley when Woodwind and his uncle joined the Velez army.  This uncle, however, fell in action near a place called Rainbow Falls.  Lynden  Velez took an interest in Woodwind, bought his contract and trained him, then eventually promoted the young man to be captain of his personal guard.

Slavery among the Lithians does not imply absolute ownership, but rather, the rights to paid labor.  These rights are typically indentured by formal contract for a period of seven years and are only renewed by mutual agreement.  Lynden paid for Woodwind's education and treated him with kindness, as he would a son.  Woodwind, who had never known a different lifestyle, expressed reluctance to leave Lynden's service and vowed to remain a member of the Velez household for life.  Time and circumstances, however, would dictate a very different path.
