Featherborn was born in the bay village of Caelon near Calabay. Born to a priest of Catiana and a fisherman, most people assume this happy-go-lucky half elf is half wood elf. In truth his elven half is sea elf, though he looks like most typical half elves. Unknown to most scholars sea elves can breath on both land and water without magic. Even less well known is that Veo Sunstar started a Clan of Warriors among the sea elves, leaving his own mark of red hair, something that amongst all elves shows the Sunstar blood. So no doubt is left that Featherborn is one of Veo's descendants with his red hair (which only his descendants amongst elves have) and thus most believe he is simply half-wood elf.
His most remarkable feature, besides always having a kind word for anyone, is his solid, creamy white eyes. He is blind in all sense of the word, but it never slowed him down. Once he was old enough to apprentice as a Priest of Cataina his mother sent him to the temple in Stormvale. There Master Sinigan and his wife took him in and taught him the ways of Catiana. They were taken by his hard work and Sinigan researched a magical spell for him to "see" with magic, though he usually only uses it to read, not get around.
Featherborn is liked by most in the Temple and is heir apparent to Master Sinigan and the title of Master of the Temple of Stormvale. Characters in the time of the High King's Sword will meet Featherborn first if they are in need to speak with Master Sinigan. He will use his aura reading ability to detect anyone who wishes to harm Master Sinigan, but otherwise will be polite and friendly with any he meets. He will also offer healing if he catches someone in an act of unseen kindness.
