Background

Guerin's mother was from Taracón but ran away when she was pregnant. She made it as far as the foothills of the alps in Dorsain before she could go no further, where she was taken in and careed for by a local Alchemist by the name of Veronique. She stayed there and raised her son in the small village of Paladru, on the northern shore of the lake of the same name. They lived with Veronique, with his mother acting essentially as a live-in servant. Veronique taught Guerin the basics of alchemy when he was young, and helped him manage some of the more concerning aspects of his heritage through the magic of transmutation.

When Guerin was a young teen, the Mad King decided he wanted an army of Descendants to use against his enemies, and sent soldiers to forcibly enlist youths (mostly young men) of more or less appropriate age - so Guerin was dragged off to the army, where he learned to be a soldier alongside other impressed Descendants and the more common Dorsain troops: ghouls.

The 'project' lasted about five years - after that time, people in his unit started disappearing under strange circumstances. By that point, Guerin had caught the attention of one of the Darakul officers of his unit, Seigneur Aramis. He was able to plot with some friends to take advantage of some of the perks his cooperation had granted him, so that they could escape and desert before anything worse happened. They relied heavily on magic and alchemy to disguise themselves until they managed to make it safely out of the country. Not long afterwards, they encountered the company, and decided to take a chance on Jorge.

Guerin has now been with the company for around 5 years, though some of his original companions have died or left for various reasons.
