Born in Majital (well, actually just outside of it), raised by a large group of ruin dwellers.
 
As in this community they'd consider themselves a one, large family, he didn't regard any person in particular as his parents.
Nevertheless an elderly elven woman would be seen by Wessam as a mentor of sort and treated with utmost respect.
 
During one of his escapades he unknowingly stepped inside a sealed off tomb. While rummaging through the place in search of valuables, he awoke an entity that was trapped therein. He was found a few hours later unconscious, but alive and unharmed.
 
From then on unexplainable things started happening when he was near. His surrounding would spontaneously become covered in a thin layer of ice, people would recover from seemingly grievous wounds and Wessam would find himself ignored by undead dwelling some of the ruins he robbed.
 
As the time passed, the influence of the entity grew stronger. Wessam could feel something stirring up inside of him. It started with thoughts and emotions that felt as if they weren't his. With time the creature attempted to communicate. So far it was only able to speak in monosyllables with cold and emotionless voice. It has made much greater strides when it comes to motoric control. After all, it was able to take Wessam all the way to Dolten.
 
For now, this is where he resides as the creature seems to be much calmer there. Besides, where else would he learn more about what befall him?
