Keeladin was born to wealthy Blood Elven parents and was quickly given up at the early age of only one. In the orphanage he moved to, he often caused distress by running away, terrorizing other children, and killing small animals. He was an outcast all the way, and was soon left alone by even the matrons. He ran away from the home permanetly to find a living elsewhere. All he found, however, was more hardship. He was soon a teenager, and often involved in crime, drinking, and drug use.
