Personal history
Twenty years ago, his mother (her name is unknown to Zonzi?) fled Sharn just as the destruction was spreading caused by Levistus. She found passage on a ship for herself and her two children. While at sea, unnatural storm raged and capsized the ship.
Zonzi and his twin sister Zunza, were found clinging to debris by a Sarlonan fishing boat. The were given to the the Path of Inspiration (religion that worships the Quori).
The two of them were raised, indoctrinated and trained by the church to become hosts for the Quori. They were the Chosen and spent their days isolated in the Temple of the Chosen, a monastery in the capitol of Riedra.
When they came of age (roughly 20 years later) they participated in the Day of Giving (a ceremony where a Quori takes control of the Chosen).
Zonzi was afraid, so Zunza went first. Zunza spoke to him telepathically to reassure him. As the Quori took his sister, she screamed into his mind.
Distraught and reeling as his sister's telepathic wail still blasted him, Zonzi refused to continue with the ceremony.
As he was was taken away, Zunza’s inarticulate psychic screams until he continued until was dragged far from the temple.
He was branded as one of the Broken. Exiled from the temple, stripped of rank and status.
He was sent to the House of the Broken, a small remote monastery for the Broken and Elan to live out their days in isolation.
By chance he was able to escape during the night. When he reached the coast. A Kalashtar (an agent of Gainitari) helped him board a ship for Karnath.
