Ran is a half-elf who appears to be around 30 years old, when he is actually only 18. He has sickly pale skin, blue hair, harsh green eyes and is slightly muscular. He seems very kind, helpful and eager to please, but he himself never seems happy. When asked about past, he sits down with his hands upon his face, and begins to explain.

He was a popular and happy child with a good home and a family that owned and operated a small-town bank. Around the age of five he had began to hear horrible voices that would tell him to go forth and kill small animals from the woods near his home. Unable to understand, he would. In later years, they had begun to get progressively worse, telling him to hurt other people from town, family members, and even himself. Under all his ablity, he was able to resist them. Nobody around him knew. Finally, one day "something bad happened" and then everyone from his small town found out, but he was met with mixed reactions. Some felt sympathy or pity, others turned their backs to him forever. Still, in his early teen years, he managed to become a Conjurer by profession, a mage dealing with the conjuration of objects and the summoning of creatures. This new combination of power and his condition quickly made him a total social outcast. He then became a drifter, living out on the main roads by himself. Although he doesn't talk about details, he claims that one fateful day the voices finally left him, but at great personal cost. Emotionally, he became a meer shell of the person he was. Afterward, he seemed to be able to return to society without threat of harming the innocent.

Most of the time, he is joined by a young woman named Vaxia Soulweaver, a thief who shares the same kind of mental state as himself. Just from the way he talks about her, it would seem that he loves her and would protect her with all his life, but the two seem more drawn to each other more so out of necissity to survive than as soulmates. The exact nature of their relationship not known by anyone, perhaps even themselves. They travel together over the Sword Coast, looking for any kind of work they can accquire.
