Backstory: Seipris, Severus, and Sigfried were the sons of an elf and an underground elven refugee camp nurse. The camp was found, destroyed, and all the elves and half-elves were forced into slavery. The three brothers were allowed to stay with their parents until Sigfried was 5 years old and started showing signs of his 'gift'. Since Sigfried refused to reveal what he saw without his brothers with him, and his gift was to important to waste, they were never sold separate from the others and never sold to anyone lower than High Class. Lord Victor heard of the brothers and placed the highest bid for them in their auction. At this time they were 19, 15, and 13. They have served Lord Victor since then.

Backstory: Concerto lived a happy life with his mother and father. He would play with other children, but no one would be his friend because he could use magic. The Count of Forte heard about this child that excelled at magic so much and invited his family to come to the castle for experimental treatment.
Concerto rarely saw his parents while in the castle, and many of the treatments were disastrous and painful. One experiment was meant to extract the magic from Concerto, but the spellcaster failed and, thanks to the mineral powder treatments, Sforzando was created. Concerto was thrown in the dungeon, left to fight for control over his own body. But he only fought when guards were around, for he and Sforzando made a deal with eachother: Sforzando would sleep, only taking control when Concerto was in trouble, and in exchange Concerto would not try to control Sforzando. They were waiting for the perfect moment to strike and escape.
When the moment came they fought their way out of the castle and escaped back to Ritardando. After asking around Concerto found out that his parents had died of illness and he was to be sent to his grandparents in Tenuto. But only a year after moving in with them they died of old age.
Concerto was then sent to live with his grandparents in Baroque. They were part of the prince's counsel, and Concerto was often left to explore the castle. One day, whilst playing the violin in the courtyard, Prince Crescendo overheard him and asked him to play for an upcoming celebration. Concerto's playing was breath-taking to all that heard him and so he was made a royal entertainer. As the years went by he and the prince became close friends. Concerto even told the prince about Sforzando, whom he had been keeping a secret from everyone. The prince new Concerto could be trusted to keep Sforzando from causing harm (otherwise the castle would have been attacked long ago) and told Concerto he trusted him. For the first time since he was taken away from Ritardando, Concerto felt at peace.

Backstory:Saeran Surana lived in Brecilian forest with his family and dalish clan until he was five years old. It was planned that he would train to become the First to his clan's Keeper, but slavers attacked and kidnapped almost half of the clan along with himself and his family. Saeran's sibling was sold to a corrupt Templar who only cared about getting the credit for finding apostates, his father was killed trying to escape, and he and his mother were sold to Bann Vaughan. Saeran's mother was kept as Vaughan's personal 'pet', and Saeran was his whipping boy. Saeran developed a limp from the years of abuse and Bann Vaughan decided he was useless. He threw Saeran out, quite literally, and then he was mistaken for a thief after wandering too close to a merchant stall by accident. Luckily the merchant defended him, much to his surprise. The merchant invited Saeran to his home and offered him some food. After hearing his tale the merchant invited Saeran to live with him and work as his assistant. Saeran finally found a home.
