Talexis was born into the Qerel tribe on the Azim Steppe; a people renowned for their strength and ferosity in battle. The curse known as the will of Karash was seen strong within him at a young age; and with the threat of exile, his mother sent to him live under the guidance of the Qestir; learning a quiet life away from the rage and revels of battle.
As he reached adulthood, he wished to travel, seeking to find his place in the world and perhaps even an end to the curse that plagued him.

After growing up amongst the silence of the Qestir; it is little wonder that he is soft-spoken. Always ever careful of his size and strength, though he may be the largest in the room, he is also usually the quietest.
But despite his muted demeanor, Tal greatly enjoys the company of others. His friendly and warm personality outshines his large and imposing stature. A man who is eager to please and slow to offend.

Will of Karash

Among the warriors of the Qerel tribe are those who are consumed by the Will of Karash; a blood curse that drives them to frenzy with an unquenchable thirst for violence. Those afflicted are often executed or exiled for the good of the tribe. He holds them no ill will for their customs but only wishes someday to be able to reunite with them and his mother again.

A Quiet Life

Talexis grew up under the care of the Qestir tribe- the silent arbiters of the steppe. Under their care- he was led away from the life of a warrior and taught the ways of the mercantile tribe. He often served as an emissary between the Qestir and merchants coming to sell their wares in Reunion. While as an outsider- he was not bound to their customs, but he did his best to adhere to them learning Qestiri sign language and adopting their non-verbal communication.

It's Honest Work

Talexis works for the Eorzean Courier's Guild by day, and a red-light teahouse by night. Making deliveries across the continent; he can sometimes be gone for weeks on end. despite being praised for his strength and aptitude for physical labor, he much prefers his other job; enjoying the company of others and catering to their needs.
