Yonas Bardur was born in the southern continent of Arkimia and spent his earliest years surviving on the streets. At seven, he stowed away aboard a ship bound for Ætaine. When his aether manifested, he entered the Temple of Luck, but his small reservoir left him unable to pursue the traditional priesthood. After briefly returning to thievery, Yonas enrolled in the newly founded College of Voice Magics at twelve, learning to influence emotion through music and storytelling.
He graduated at sixteen and traveled north to establish himself as a singer of tales. Within months, he encountered the Company of the White Wing in the village of Bangwallop and joined their adventures. Yonas later helped overthrow King Albric and restore Valmark under Levak and Esriella. He has since become a widely known traveling bard, valued for his kindness, humor, keen observation, and skill with a crossbow.
