Born on the seas of Vai, Sigzil never knew his real parents. His first memories being the beauty of the open seas and of being put work around the ship. Growing up on the water is not an ideal childhood but Sigzil did his best with what he had.
 
After a life of grueling work and slumming from ship to ship, taking whatever jobs he could find he almost found himself captain of his own crew. On what was supposed to be a day of great fortune it seemed the seas had different expectations, and as the sky grew dark and waves became furious it seemed luck was not on his side. And after only a few hours and the worst storm he had ever been patron to witness before, he found himself washed up on the shore.
 
With no idea where he was or anything to call his own but mixed feelings on his situation and a newfound bitterness for the sea he decided to strike out into the world to see if his skills and experiences could help him be useful elsewhere.
