Backstory: Mikale was born in the village of Kado to an abusive mother. Unbeknownst to him, he was a product of the renegade Drow raids against humans and part of a sexual assault that lead to his mother's depression and untamed anger. He was locked away in a closet for most of his life, just as his mother had been so when her parents found out she was pregnant. She beat and starved him, but could never kill him as it was against the laws of the village. When he wasn't locked away, he would wander out through the village and he was alone almost all of the time. When he was seven, a young girl with purple hair and purple eyes was selling bread with her mother. The little girl had noticed Mikale peeking around a barrel in an alley and he was eying the bread. She ignored him for the most part, but when he shrank back around the corner she told her mother and they both brought him a part of a loaf and it was then that he and Dracanisa became friends. Every day he would go to that booth and every day she would share with him her food. As the next nine years they became close as ever and he even started helping her mother with selling things and gathering water from the stream behind their house and helping carry the wheat from the market to their home. Instead of calling her Dracanisa, he called her Drayke.

One day, they were gathering water from the stream when both he and Dracanisa were kidnapped by a hooded man. As scared as they were, he took them far from the village and neither one of them knew their way back. The man who revealed himself as Akmayle, taught them to fend for themselves, but never let them out of their sight. Eventually, they came across a Lo'nier city where a girl Mikale thought was rather annoying whose name was Akaya, joined them. She seemed to be fascinated with Dracanisa, but always looked at him strangely and even though she had a big mouth and didn't stop talking, she would stutter around him and run away. But she always followed Dracanisa like a small dog.

When they reached their next destination, Haven, he had never seen so many people before in his life. It was the capital of the human world, the place where the king resided. It was clean and well kept, its walls illuminated everything and there were bright colors and people wore bright clothing. They all looked at him strangely like they were wary of him, and one shop owner even refused him service. Throughout the time they spent in this city, which was awhile, he always felt like he was being watched. Not because of his tan skin, black hair and yellow eyes, but for something he couldn't quite put his finger on. One day while he was out walking around a very flamboyant woman approached him. She had the same yellow eyes as him, but she was blonde and very tall. She studied him before asking why he was in the city with humans and "the purple haired demon". He jumped to Dracanisa's defense, as he always had when people insulted or questioned her, but she waved down his anger with a fan in her hand. She simply wanted to know why has was alone and without other Drow. He had never heard of the Drow before.

It was here that he learned that they were the dark elves from the desert and he learned his true heritage. It was life changing, to say the least and after much thought and discussion with Dracanisa, she convinced him to stay and work under this strange woman who called herself Blade. She was an alchemist and well-known merchant with the nobles who lived in  and around the palace. It was from then on she took him under her brightly clothed arm and taught him the way of Alchemy, the way of the Drow and he worked under her. He did learn sword art from the Drow and also became a for-hire mercenary when needed. But his skill was unprecedented, and his fee so high, he wasn't hired often. But because of the coin that he charged his employers, he didn't need to do things often.
