At a young age, Julian was involved in a shipwreck, and only he and his younger sister Portia survived. They were saved by a group of salt seals who had hauled them out on the shore and began protecting them. Mazelinka, having been in the storm herself, discovered the siblings and brought them to the nearby town of Nevivon. Julian and Portia were then largely raised there by a group of grandmothers, including Lilinka, Mazelinka's lover. These grandmothers managed a tourist attraction focused on Nevivon's famous saltwater hot springs. Julian would grow up curious about the tourists who came to Nevivon from faraway places. He eventually learned to read and write from Lilinka, and later left his hometown and his younger sister to study medicine in Prakra. Julian gained the majority of his medical experience from apprenticing on battlefields under the tutelage of Nazali. At some point, Julian encountered an injured Lucio during a battle, and ended up amputating Lucio's arm to save his life.”, "char_occupation": “Fujitive”, "Plague Doctor", "char_sexuality": “Bisexual", }
