You could assume a converted barbarian culture with access to 'civilised' church training in the form of an apprenticeship to a physick or Herbalist. Sorcery would be herbal or physician based, or possibly alchemy.
 
  
Hey, could that monastery have been burnt to the ground by some unwashed pagans? He survived and a wandering sorcerer found him and took him under his wing. It's a little weak, but all I can think of now.

My (now dead) sorcery master, could he or she be connected to one of the other PCs? I've come bearing grave news to the family.

A Mernii clanleaders son, trained healer/wiseman and herbwizard. His abbey was one of those sacked in the ongoing Orbaalese raids on the kingdom of Thay. Currently in the Chybisian Kings court.
+
For the first time since he left with Ribert, Aelfric returned home to bring the news of his Great Uncle's passing. He spent the better part of a year there, practicing his trade and getting reacquainted with his family. When talk of both marriage and taking on an apprentice started, he decided he must also visit his other family in Chybisa whom he had only met as a small child. His mother gave him letters and small gifts for her relatives.
 
+
He was in little hurry though and made many lengthy stops on the way.
Say my mother comes from the same family as my as-yet-unnamed-master, perhaps they were cousins. When the abbey was destroyed he was passing by, and helped take care of the few survivors. I was one. When he left, I wanted to come with him and out of both pity and responsibility he let me. The church/monastic order was to busy to really care, besides the family has enough clout to make it happen. A small donation to help rebuild perhaps? Aelfric was probably around 15 or so.
+
Some three months ago however, he finally arrived in Leriel.
 
 
When master died a year ago, I went back to tell my relatives in Chybisa and decided to stay awhile (where everyone else is).

Background

Father - Baron Roberic of Clan Mernii Mother - Ysibet of Clan Legith Brother -Sir Balwyn, the heir. Sister - Lady Maeri

As a younger son Aelfric was placed in a monastery to be sworn to the church. When he showed both aptitude and inclination for the arts of healing he was taught such skills by brother Brynf.

The monastery was burnt and pillaged by northern raiders in his second year there. As fortune had it, the boy's great uncle, his paternal grandfather's brother Ribert had come to visit him and was able to see him safely away from the assault. In doing so, Ribert revealed his skills of magic and healing and on their way home agreed to take the boy on as apprentice.

Aelfric was thus released from the Church and the monastery rebuilt soon after. Now followed some ten years of wandering, Ribert eschewed a settled life of comfort after a falling out with his nephew and took Aelfric to many areas on Harn. They visited the small villages, the isolated hamlets as well as the keeps and town, primarily in Easter Harn, but occasionally further West. Aelfric learned much about herblore and the magic arts. If they heard of others of their kind, they tried to seek them out to trade for knowledge and herbs. While poor these were good years for Aelfric, but traveling alone with an old, quiet man set its mark on him. He formed no attachments, and few skills other than those important to his trade. Their journeys ended two years ago. One morning his great uncle did not wake, and despite his pupil's best efforts passed away peacefully a few hours later. He lies buried near Laket.

For the first time since he left with Ribert, Aelfric returned home to bring the news of his Great Uncle's passing. He spent the better part of a year there, practicing his trade and getting reacquainted with his family. When talk of both marriage and taking on an apprentice started, he decided he must also visit his other family in Chybisa whom he had only met as a small child. His mother gave him letters and small gifts for her relatives. He was in little hurry though and made many lengthy stops on the way. Some three months ago however, he finally arrived in Leriel.
