Personal history

Not much is known about Vuelas's family life as he has not spoken that often about it. What is known is he was born an only child to Thae'Rus and Conneith Auberfire in the far east desert region of Suex Tai'shkh. His family, people, and culture were fully absorbed in the arcane. His father was an elder wizard and his mother was an alchemist and a sorceress which helped lead to Vuelas's obsession in knowing as much as he could about its power. He had a nanny named Valesce, a Yuan-Ti, who along with his mother, taught him much about alchemy and poisons. Vuelas was also tutored by a blind runeborne dwarf by the name of "Mean" Muggin Knucklebolts who apprenticed him in the ways of smithing and imbuing magic into items. He trained for quite some time with both Muggin and Valesce learning also about a group called the ArcanaTechs. Both told him stories of their exploits into the world of the arcane and their lusts and quests for its power. Vuelas listened and read anything he could find on this fabled guild. It turned into his obsession. Some time later, it is believed it was Valesce that led his mother to follow the ways of an ancient Fey goddess stepped in cult like ways that eventually led to Conneith being labeled a witch. This resulted in the death of both Valesce and his mother whom was impaled and burned alive for her transgressions. The time wasn't long before Muggin also perished due to his time in the smoke filled forges from his youth on. From there Vuelas knew there was nothing more for him here. He hitched a ride with a traveling merchant not telling anyone where he planned to go. He assumed it probably took his father a long time before he even realized he was gone. He traveled to exquisite cities such as Cae-Djon, Duqueskne, and the legendary city of Lowlgaithia. He absorbed all he could on knowledge of the arcane and any snippet of information he could gleam about the ArcanaTechs. He would meet a hobgoblin artificer much like himself by the name of Fexgher Stealharden. The two studied together for a few years in the city until they acquired a pass to the city of doors, Sigil. The dangerous city was fun and interesting, but the truths were hard to distinguish from the lies and tall tales. They would travel forward to the Forgotten Realms where they would spend a bit more time in the city of Neverwinter. Fexgher eventually went on his way wanting to travel up to Waterdeep, but Vuelas felt inclined to start building him a workshop and spend time crafting some things before doing more traveling. Generating coin to fund that endeavor though would turn Vuelas to taking up odd jobs adventuring and doing slight mercenary work. This helped to pay the bills enough to craft him some constructs to help him in his new passion, adventuring which as it turned out, could lead to the acquiring of new magic items to help him in his quest for power and seeking the attention of the ArcanaTechs which he was sure of their existence. Recently, he took up a job doing slight mercenary work with a few adventurers getting rid of a gang of thugs calling themselves the Red Brands out of a town called Phandalen. This was successful and even had the promise of returning work. It has come that time again where Vuelas's pockets have gotten low of coin and he desperately needs work. With the success of his new constructs, he is anxious to try them out and find more power to work on the even better ideas he has to power up mundane items with the arcane. The ArcanaTechs are sure to hear about his success and soon.
