History

Childhood: The Beginning - 8 ABY

Born on Reena in 8 ABY, the boy named Balthier was brought into one of the noble families within House Reena. The child's birth was uncommonly plain; the heavens didn't sing and the auguries detected nothing irregular about the child or his future. However, the child would grow quickly and soon become more than a nuisance to those around him. Balthier was quick to learn anything new that interested him. Within months the boy was speaking in broken sentences and by the time the first year was over, there was no safe place to hide from the boy's wandering steps.

Childhood: The Early Years - 9 ABY to 15 ABY

Balthier’s steps became progressively more noticed as he seemed to have an utterly insatiable curiosity. Locked doors and restricted areas only served to interest the child even more. The young boy quickly found that it was relatively easy to elude detection until people were actively looking. He was given tutors at an early age in hopes to satiate his curiosity. The boy child learned his letters and numbers with ease and quickly moved to other subjects such as history. The stories of wars within the Sector seemed to interest him the most.

As with all things the child touched, things quickly became apparent that this child was intelligent and excessive inquisitive. The child always seemed to have a dozen more questions for each one that was answered. Without fail the child leeched every ounce of knowledge from his instructors. Only a few years after the first tutors arrived, Balthier had gone through most of the available historians within House Reena. The young boy showed great promise as tactician through expertly crafted reenactments that could have changed the course of many conflicts.

Balthier also showed great promise as both a musician and a historian. The boy learned to play numerous instruments during those early years, bringing pride to his parents and beauty to the boy’s otherwise colorless life. As the child progressed, tutors from other places would come to teach him only to find that Balthier’s intellect and sharp wit made them next to ornaments.

Childhood: Talented Child - 15 ABY to 21 ABY

Balthier continued to study with tutors of academia with the addition of an etiquette tutor as well as several martial artists and a few members from the intelligence offices within the House. The child continued his advanced learning at a ferocious rate. No sooner was he told something than he understood it. The sharpness of the boy’s mind was only rivaled by his wit and curiosity. The martial artists who came to teach the boy were impressed by his willingness to learn and his tenacity to never give up until each move was completely mastered within his kinetic memory.

Balthier quickly found that he needed more than just the training from the instructors present. He needed to constantly train his body. Every bit of the house was used to drill his punches and kicks. The boy used the dirt, the walls, doors and even armored posts to train his hands and feet to ignore the pain of breaks and impacts. Balthier quickly found that the path of a warrior was not an easy one, but he would insure that he would never go down alone

Adolescence: Fast Study and the Saber Rakes - 21 ABY to 25 ABY

Balthier grew quickly and soon discovered that he had an affinity towards bladed weapons. One weapon in particular was the lightfoil. The young man begged lessons from one of the Saber Rakes within the house and soon began his tutelage as one of the duelists of House Reena.

Weeks passed into months as the child learned and studied what it meant to be one of the nobles of House Reena. His free time dominated by learning the dueling arts, Balthier spent every waking moment deep in study of one form or another. The young Balthier quickly mastered etiquette, dancing, dueling and public speaking.

His first duel was against his own instructor in front of his parents. Balthier’s intelligence and knowledge of fighting greatly helped in his first match. The lightfoils hurt, but nothing that wouldn’t heal with time. The first was grueling and closely fought. His instructor ended the first as the victor, but would openly admit that the child was soon going to surpass every fighter within the House.

Adulthood: The Noble Thief - 27 ABY to 32 ABY
