Background: I was born the illegitimate love child of Benjen Stark and Ashara Dayne. After my mother died and my father joined the Wall, it was decided that I be sent to the Citadel to be raised a Maester as both parents were highborn. I learned quickly and earned my first link by age 11. As a child I was given a sickly white raven that had been rejected from nest and declined as non-useful to the Citadel. They didn't expect it to live and thought it might have a life lesson in it for me. Not only did she live but she thrived and became twice the size of the average White Winter Ravens. She also learned speech and seems to carry on conversations with myself and my black cat Abyss and a few "special" others.

After learning all I could at the Citadel I traveled abroad for a few years seeking more knowledge from other lands. Asshai, Braavos and Qohor to be specific. I learned much in these lands and formed many crucial and lasting friendships. It was in Asshai that I procured a "glass candle" of my own, works similiar to a crystal ball. Upon leaving the Citadel I was given a locked chest that had been set aside for me by whom I do not know. The Maester who does know has since passed away. Inside the chest were many scrolls, maps and notes that seemingly someone had taken great pains to collect. They all pertain to dragons and their lairs and places for possible "aeg clutches" It seems to be "A Quest for Aegs". This chest had a false bottom and inside I found the most beautiful dagger. The note included with it states it was made from the same star that made the Morning Sword Dawn and it carries the same properties, a milky white blade that seems to hum in my hands as I hold it. I have named it "Dusk".
