Personal History:

Aaron, born first child to Alexia Krestor and Mandrake Mandragoran in the ketian Lands of Oerth, is the Last of the Mangragorans and the final bearer of its legacy. As a half elf, his life has been long, and he has experienced much. While only alive for 105 years (human equivalent of 26) he has traveled extensively throughout Harn and Oerth – having lived in ket, maldev, caladan, ridow, the golden draco, melderyn, and always seeking fun and recreation, and through the use of his Mandragoran powers, his life has been one of excess, carelessness, and debauchery. Until his latest experience, Aaron has always drawn on others for his needs – using and consuming their experience, money, and station to live towards his own childish ends. While not malevolent, he had embraced the carefree, thrill seeking, and fun loving elvish side with little thought to the cost it might bear on others. He has run with bards, bedded women, and lived luxuriously off of the dime of others (usually after charming them using their own experience). While his experiences may have been many, they amount to naught but a life of hedonism and enjoyment. He has seen life from the seedier side and the more rough and tumble commoner side. When on the outs he has slept in barns, brothels, and in the beds of wayward wives and princesses alike. His most recent experience however was a life changing event.

                Through the machinations of the Black Robes of the Melderynni Parliament, Aaron found himself alone and facing a pseudo army of constructs. With no being to draw experience from he was forced to draw his own. The young Mandragoran survived only by cannibalizing all of his experience and even then he would not have survived saved for the efforts of Steven Sagely who came to his rescue. The experience left him totally drained not only of the experiences (and skills) of his thief profession but also of his own self confidence.  Once faced with the reality of the experience draining effects of his leach-like powers he was forced to confront its toll not only on himself but on others. Whatever his deeds during his travels, Aaron was still raised by his mother Alexia, and his father Mandrake (when around). His heart was good and Aaron recoiled in moral shock at the real costs of his level draining effects. Mortified at what his own actions have cost others and the realization that he was never as powerful as he thought himself to be, Aaron is in a state of soul searching – afraid at his own weakness and purely determined not to drain experiences from others without their knowledge or will. It was at this crux in his life that his father Mandrake returned to his life. His father, ever the teacher, helped crystallize Aarons understanding that what he faced was a realization that the true path to self confidence and moral power comes from self discipline and building your own skill sets. Power given is misunderstood, power earned is appreciated, and power attained must always be met with an equal amount of moral discipline. But power, Mandrake said, is not a worthy objective. As his heart led him as a child, our nature is to explore and experience the universe and our goal is a self expression which harms none and helps many. Mandrake instilled in Aaron a sense that through ones own creativity they find a sense of themselves, selfconfidence, knowing that they are not limited nor bound by anyone or even the very laws of the universe – only through creativity is one free of the need to accumulate raw power and WITH creativity, any power accrued can be spent in ways of self expression and benevolence that is limited ONLY by ones creativity. It is that path that Mandrake offers to show Aaron. That path, and the chance to be by his sons side and be the father that is no longer absent.
