Emerald Wind grew up in Cherak, where he lived until recently. His mother,
Mighty Heaven, was a devout follower of the Immaculate Order. His father, Noble
Watcher, was less interested in the religion, but didn’t interfere as Mighty
Heaven raised their children to be faithful to Immaculate doctrine.

Emerald Wind was always fascinated by stories of the First Age, stories of the
mighty Exalted and how they defeated the seemingly unstoppable Anathema. He
ravenously devoured any old stories the bards told, any writings that gave a
glimpse of that bygone era. He and his friends sometimes played a game where
one of them pretended to be Anathema, and the rest pretended to be monks, or
even the Scarlet Empress herself, trying to take him down before he destroyed
the world.

The older kids, though, made fun of him for being such a bookworm, and beat him
up on a regular basis. After one particularly bad beating, he realized he
needed to learn to defend himself. He began to train his body as well as his
mind.

Emerald Wind continued his academic studies. When the public libraries didn’t
have enough for him, he started snooping around for whatever private libraries
he could find, and tried to get in good with its owner. Sometimes it worked,
but other times he found himself having to break into their place just to read
their books. He got caught in the act more often than not. He was chased out
of plenty of libraries, got his ass kicked a few times, and was even arrested
often enough for the Cherak authorities to start recognizing him. After a
while, they just shook their heads, laughing, as if to say “what are we going to
do with you?”

By the time he was twenty, Emerald Wind had a reputation for being one of the
most knowledgeable mortals around. At first, he didn’t even know how much more
he knew than the average person, but as more and more people pumped him for
information, he began to realize how uneducated they were. That bothered him,
because he never felt like he knew enough, but if he couldn’t go to others for
more knowledge, where could he go?

Of course, the Exalted knew more than he did, and they were spiritually in tune
with the Immaculate Dragons to boot. But he was for the most part beneath their
notice. He considered becoming a monk just for the teaching, but he didn’t like
the control the Immaculates put on that knowledge. It was around this time he
realized how much he loved helping people learn things they didn’t know. So he
decided to become a teacher instead of going back to being a student.

His reputation increased. Eventually, a scavenger lord named Blue Tear heard of
him and paid him for any clues he might have that led to a treasure that was
supposedly sealed in a long-forgotten Anathema tomb. Emerald Wind’s information
proved helpful, so Blue Tear kept returning for more information. Eventually,
Blue Tear began taking him on his expeditions. After each quest was completed,
Emerald Wind would return to Cherak, where he’d resume his teaching until the
scavenger lord was ready to put together another expedition. Little did he know
how much these expeditions would change his life.

He never had much reason to study medicine until one of the grunts on an
expedition was mortally wounded by a trap in a tomb they were trying to enter.
Emerald Wind felt they should have been able to save him. Knowledge is supposed
to help people, not kill them. He began to study medicine so perhaps he could
do something about it next time someone was mortally wounded near him.

Blue Tear’s expeditions also brought him into close contact with spirits.
Emerald Wind realized there’s a wealth of untapped knowledge, since the
Immaculates insisted people not talk to them. Yet they were the only living
witnesses of the First Age that had always fascinated him so. The more he
thought about it, the more he realized he couldn’t resist. He began making
deals with spirits for whatever knowledge he could gain from them.

This was how he learned that the demons they called “Anathema” were really just
another kind of Exalted. And not just any kind of Exalted—it seems they were
the rightful rulers of this world, and the Dragon Blooded killed them and
assumed their position. The spirits didn’t seem to have any love for the Solar
Exalted, but they liked the Dragon Blooded even less. At least they could
respect the Solars. The Dragon Blooded were more like toddlers playing with
essence cannons.

Emerald Wind began to teach the true nature of the Solars to his students. One
of his students must’ve had connections with the Cult of the Illuminated,
because they paid him a visit. A man named Compassionate Plough told him that
what he was teaching his students was similar to what the Cult believed, but
also warned him to keep quiet before the Dragon Blooded caught word of it.
Emerald Wind brushed him off, and soon discovered the wisdom behind
Compassionate Plough’s warning.

When the Dragon Blooded authorities heard what Emerald Wind was teaching, they
came down on him hard. He was arrested, but this time they weren’t amused by
his actions they way they were whenever he was arrested as a teenager for
breaking into libraries.

They started hauling him off toward the prison. Along the way, he was promised
that his reeducation would begin as soon as the monks arrived. Emerald Wind
realized that meant he would be brainwashed. He told them flat out, “I’m not
afraid of the truth. What are you afraid of?”

They began to beat him. It was at that point that he Exalted. Suddenly he had
the power to fight back. And fight back he did, to the best of his ability, but
he was somehow knocked unconscious. When he awakened, he was nowhere near
Cherak.
