Jair has a sister which he wished would have gotten lost in the reflective maze in the Elven fun house at King Otto's fair. Jair used to watch the performing Steppes Magi in his youth at Stormhaven. At Windemere Outpost, in dreams Lakmir of the Circle of the Twelve came to him; beseeching and etreating for him to ride south, taking naught by a dirk, a torch, and his courage. Jair embarked on the great quest of a lifetime, a hero's journey. He took to the road, beset by prophetic dreams from Lakmir which lead his way.
