Born as the third child of five to his parents in Italy, Agapitus was one of two gifted children born into that set of siblings, the other being his youngest sister. His parents were completely overjoyed at their luck, though they were still attentive to all of their children. Agapitus’s father was a Redcap, and his mother was a member of the Milvi Antiquiti within house Mercere. Though his mother was originally planning on not training her own son, but the moment he showed any capability in Mutanum Magic, her mind changed quickly, and she began training him very early.
Given the boy’s age, his education was split up a bit to make things easier to digest. After a few years of training, the boy worked to aide his mother in her work to diffuse knowledge through books to all who requested it. He was mostly a librarian’s assistant when he was young and his mother’s apprentice. During this time, his mother also noticed the boy had a special affinity with animals. Agapitus seemed to naturally adore any sort of cat, dog, horse, and many other creatures, and they seemed unbothered by him. The only creatures the boy seemed to reject were snakes and lizards, which his mother felt was a fine trade off.
During his apprenticeship, Agapitus’s free time was filled with reading and stories mostly. His view of the world was somewhat limited, as this had basically been his life as long as he could remember. And as time went by, his view of the world became somewhat romanticized, having odd theories of love and adventure. He was not used to dealing with people outside of his own family besides business transactions, so Agapitus became tended to be shy around other people.
These tendencies frustrated his mother and other Mercere a bit. They were trying to encourage him to start having children to continue the line, but between his slight delusions and his introversion. Agapitus successfully completed his gauntlet, Agapitus was encouraged to leave home to live in the Thebes tribunal and set up shop for the Milvi Antiquiti there. Though this was partially true, it was more to get Agapitus out of his shell, so he would properly continue the Mercere line.
So Alair headed southeast to the Thebes Tribunal, and quickly began trying to find a place to work from and adapt to the area, unknowing of the actual reason he was there.
