Born into a family of Bloodhunters in the far distant islands of the Shattered Teeth as part of the Ossended Host, a native culture of exclusively Vedalken members who've come under increasing attack from the Wandermen Assembly in recent years. As their numbers have been dwindling, some from among their number have been chosen as Emissaries & sent out to find allies in their struggles. Individuals were chosen for their likelihood to return alive with aid, all relatively young & possessing some unique talent or ability that set them above their peers. Rivac was taught from a very young age the ways of a Bloodhunter - how to track evil creatures & how to deal with them once they've given up on the chase to face their inevitable demise. He belongs to a prominent Order of Bloodhunters dedicated to the eradication of necromancy & the undead that is respected, if still feared for their abilities to manipulate the lifeblood of creatures. (acknowledged as an avenue of progress that other societies have not fully explored, one more thing to perfect) His experience with the Hunter's Bane ritual at the young age of 47 nearly killed him despite being guided by his father & older brother, the only surviving members of his family. In the years since, the 3 of them hunted through the Shattered Teeth together, only loosely coordinating with the Order as a whole, that is until their father sacrificed himself to save them from an undead hoard that overwhelmed the trio.

He was not the only Bloodhunter chosen to become an emissary either. Several individuals from his Order, including Rivac & his older brother, were sent out in hopes that their hemocraft abilities would make them more likely to survive in the unknown beyond the Shattered Teeth. Rivac crashed his emissary vessel while trying to traverse inland, getting him somewhat close to a location around the party. He left it behind in the wilderness, hiding it as best he could & making extra sure to map the spot carefully so that he can return to it someday as a potential return vessel for the voyage back to the Shattered Teeth. He has been on Tal'Dorei for a few weeks to a couple months at most, traveling to find civilization first, then working to survive for a bit as he gathered his bearings.
