Tysen Merage





Left on his own at the age of nine in the city of Al'har Aman, Tysen had a difficult life, to say the least. However, unlike most, Tysen's rough life only made him stronger, and more compassionate, rather than bitter and resentful. He found work in a small Tavern in Al'har, named The Gifted Sentry, ironically enough. Tysen spent two years at the Sentry, cleaning tables, bringing food, moving firewood; all the odd jobs Master Gentar would give him in exchange for room and board, not to mention a family... of sorts.

However, over the years, Tysen began feeling things... inside himself, and they seemed to be coming from the Towers, especially the Black Tower. After a few trips to the Towers, Tysen soon learned he could feel whenever the Asha'man were Channeling, and he secretly began testing this in the seclusion of his room in the Sentry.

Before he was discovered by the Black Tower, Tysen had been Channeling on his own for two years, and had found himself to be rather strong in Air, Water, and Spirit; something he learned to be odd for most men.


So, at the age of sixteen, Tysen was brought to the Black Tower for proper training. He has an odd look to him, however, with slightly dark skin, black, spiked-up hair, and big, brown eyes. He is usually seen in worn, handed-down clothes and he always carries his quarterstaff with him; a gift from Master Gentar, the only present he has ever received. Tysen is cool and calm, and he rarely shows his emotions to anyone; a tactic he learned quickly from his early childhood.
