Before he was a knight of the high court, he was a wizard, learned in the ways of magik. Even though he was quickly knighted by his lady, he still felt the other knights accepted his position grudgingly, especially the first knight . Through the months of faithful service, the wizard knight protected his lady with all his heart and soul, promising her that he'll always be there, no matter what. Realizing that his feelings for her were much deeper than he had thought before, he suppressed them as long as he could, knowing that his cousin's eye fell on the lady. Although the lady had previously rejected the first knight's advances, he still felt she was his, and his alone. Yet something did not sit well with the wizard knight and he brought this up with the first knight, who immediately accused him of betrayal and banished him from the realm. Accused falsely, the wizard knight kept the fire within himself. Leaving the castle, he searched the castle windows and found his lady, tears streaking from her eyes, and as he rode off into the forest, he vowed two things: to return to his lady at whatever the cost and to avenge the injustice and treachery that fell upon him.
