Zephyr probably would have had a perfectly normal childhood had he not been orphaned at a young age. His mother had no family, and his father's human family refused to take in a tiefling child, and so it was he ended up in a church-run orphanage.
The clerics in charge of the orphanage weren't a big fan of tieflings either. Life on the streets was preferable. And so began a cycle of running away, living on his wits and what he could scavenge or steal, only to be caught and returned to his keepers.
This went on for several years until the pocket that Zephyr picked belonged to a former monk working as an acrobat in a travelling circus. He returned Zephyr to the orphanage, but on hearing that he was a persistent runaway decided to take the boy with him instead.
The first night with the circus Zephyr almost ran away again. But seeing them all working together, a found family, something made him want to stay.
And so began Zephyr's new life. The acrobat monk [name TBC] began to train him in his arts although it quickly became clear that while Zephyr was dextrous and nimble, he had no head for showmanship. Instead he started to put his skills to use protecting his new family from the dangers of the road, and unfamiliar and sometimes unfriendly towns.
People came and went, as people do from the travelling life. Zephyr began to feel restless and was wondering where his feet would take him. It was then he and his remaining circus companions met up with Wender (who had left the circus some time previously) in his new guise as a travelling merchant. The venue was rowdy, inevitably breaking into a multi-way brwal, but it was easy enough for someone with Zephyr's skills to leap out of the way of a punch and run up the bannister of the staircase to watch the entertainment from safely above.
