Born into a family of farmers in Gondor, Scripture grew up with his older brother. While his older brother showed signs of becoming a warrior, Scripture showed signs of becoming a magic user, which both his parents shunned. He only proved himself worthy of his parents affection when he managed to use his abilities to 'Talk down' a bear from attacking his family.

When reaching maturity he and his brother survived a devastating attack on his family farm. Both his parents were killed by unknown brigands. He grew up in the care of his brother and both enlisted in the war effort against the forces of Sauron.

Upon reaching his early twenties, his brother met his demise and Scripture was left devastated. Only he knows the true cause of his brothers death but never reveals it to anyone due to the effect it may have on him.

When settling down in the Bree-lands he donned a mask to hide his identity to all the residents. There have been rare cases where he has taken his mask off in public, yet none have truly taken a long enough look to remember the details.
