Born in Saragosa, esteban was the son of a rich merchant, and was given the best education possible. Soon, his professor, a learned man who had attended the great universities of Mythic Europe, noticed his talents and began teaching him the basics of natural philosophy, while at the same time trying to convince Esteban's father than sending the youngster at Salerno would be a good move: Esteban was brillant, enough that no one could understand his insights or how his thoughts flowed from one subject to another.
Sadly, due to a series of bad sales (Some said these were more like traps organised by competitors), Esteban's father fell out of business, thus ruining any chance the boy would have had to attend university. Still, he had learned enough to set out a practice, and spend the next years buying as much books as he could to satiate his hunger for knowledge, while at the same time trying to develop more formulae.
It was thus that fate struck a second time: Esteban had tried to create a Theriac that would enhance his longevity. So sure was he of his skill that he drank the potion without having tested it before. But a huge mistake on his part had made it into the very contrary of what he had sought to achieve: He was left enfeebled, with arthritis comparable to a much older man.
Ruined, having invested all his money and time into the development of his failed potion, Esteban sought out the mysterious order of scholars he had heard rumors of, hoping to be accepted among their numbers. What he found wasn't what he hoped, but still, his talents were precious enough for him to be granted a place among a covenant.
When the call for Phoenix came, he was sent there as a gifted specialist, a precious boon to the new covenant by some mysterious sponsor. As his road mirrored that of Hiems, it was arranged so that the two would travel together, thus assuring the frail scholar that he'd reach Phoenix alive.
