Family History: The Kel family of Clan Sviet has long be herbalists of the most destructive kind. Their brand of specialization in the deadly poisons is renowned. Rethen’s great-great-grandfather moved the Kel family to the isle of Fasemoor from the woods around Eloique, Maiorn. From there, his descendants learned varying magics and were exposed to other races more heavily. Rethen's mother is one of the foremost botanists on the island and Rethen's father is a specialist in healing magics, teaching several advanced classes at the academy.

General Biography: Raised in La’To, Fasemoor, Rethen has always been a bit different. He spent most of his summers with Clan Sviet in the woods of Maiorn, learning to hunt and survive on his own, without the use of magic for the base necessities. His schooling in La’To allowed him the luxury of magic. At 24, he began writing a thesis on the explosive properties of certain biological and mineralogical compounds. In a demonstration the next year, he blew up the lecture hall where he was conducting the demonstration: the dwarves had been impressed, the elves had not. At 26, he left La’To with a Dwarven Mining Corporation heading to excavate new mines near Miyoor. He was the youngest student to ever graduate period. And he graduated with honors near the top of his class.

In one incident when he was younger, Rethen was trapped in a dwarven border town when Plaguewalkers from Itis attacked. It is because of this experience that he has such love for dwarves, fire, and explosives. He also has nightmares of the event and is terrified of large groups of Plaguewalkers or Rhasto.
