Jek Stormsol is the second son of five in a family from one of the many Cheliax city-states, a third generation citizen of Varisia. The Stormsols are fairly well off, a merchant family who deal in exotic goods in Magnimar. Being the second son, however, he is not to inherit the business and thus was apprenticed to a wizard just outside of Sandpoint at a young age, a fairly affluent profession according to his parents. Having recently completed his journeymanship, he's decided to take up the life of adventuring, however, to his parents' dismay, instead of working for Mayor Deverin's small but well established court or a minor lord of Magnimar.
Jek is a forthright individual, having led a very strict lifestyle. He is a devout follower of Abadar, mostly because of his upbringing, and pays respect to Nethys like his master, an kind but often eccentric man. His desire to see the world and discover what's out there is due to a strong curiosity cultivated from years of research. After knowing the theoretical, he believes it is important to gain real world experience, and he still has every intention to join a court when he feels he is ready, probably the fact that has kept him on speaking terms with his parents.

Secretly, even to Jek, his aptitude for magic began at a very young age - young enough to give his parents pause. Fearing that he was somehow tainted by some unknown fiendish source - wrongly or rightly - they apprenticed him as a wizard immediately so that he would gain control of these abilities, and to hide his innate abilities with magic. While his wizardly training has honed his magical abilities, his parents still fear their origins, and this is the overriding reason that they do not wish him to explore these abilities and to take up the quiet life of a court mage.

Jek is of average height and build with dark black hair and eyes and pale skin, giving away his Chelaxian heritage. He is 21 years old, just emerging from his master's tower into the real world. He wears practical outfits, those made for walking the terrain outside the town, as he plans on taking up the life of the adventurer. He does miss the finer things in life, but he is determined to live a new life - for now.
His general demeanor is guarded due to his unfamiliarity with his current living conditions and those around him, often crossing and uncrossing his arms and rarely looking anyone in the eye unless speaking directly to them. He is thoughtful, possessing less in the way of common sense and more careful contemplation. At the same time, he is helpful to those around him who need aid and wishes only the best for his fellows of Sandpoint.
