Iapetus Background
He grew up in northern Spain, the bastard child of a young nobleman. He was packed away to be raised by the nervous servants by his grandparents, and had begun to learn the basics of education despite his blossoming Gift when a passing Magus heard of the strange boy through local rumors. The Magus was an impulsive Apromor Flambeaux of modest experience, who rushed to claim the Gifted boy as an apprentice. Trouble picked up, of course, when the vibrant young apprentice's lack of ability with Perdo came into obvious being. As his tutelage continued, it became obvious that despite his lack of skill with his master's chosen Art, he was bright enough to be useful for lab work at least.
His teacher grew more frustrated and more hash with the apprentice, until finally he declared the apprentice unfit for the gauntlet yet and decided he needed another couple years training to be qualified as an Apromor. Iapetus used his limited magical skills to destroy any arcane connections to him held in the lab, and he ran to seek a new master. Thanks to his learning of the Order's ways and a lot of luck, he managed to find a Tytalus with a grudge against the Flambeaux who challenged for right to teach the apprentice and promptly trounced the apprentice's former master. After a year of service to his new Mentor, the newly christened Iapetus passed his gauntlet challenge and became a true Magus.
For his last year training, Iapetus was taken to Brittania, and he found himself in strange and foreign soil. Iapetus capitalized on his charm and his singing voice to survive despite his lack of skill with the local language. He began to pick up the language as well as some skills for survival, and he began travelling around the tribunal, seeking entertainment, seeking challenges, and seeking teaching. In particular, he sought out local legends of magical things, magical creatures, and the like.
