Tao-Jin was sent to Caldeum to spend his formative years under the tutelage of the best mages in the world. Well, it seems they neglected to teach him manners on his native island of Xiansai, for he was a rude and uncooperative student from the very beginning. Originally under the guidance of the Zann Esu mage clan, he was eventually handed over to the Vizjerei in the hopes that their strict and unbending discipline would break his anarchic spirit. Yet even the esteemed Vizjerei instructors were unable to rein him in. He was continually being caught seeking out dangerous and forbidden magics, heedless of the consequences to himself or anyone around him. And now it seems that his wanderlust has taken him to the Nexus.
