Raistlin is Caramon’s mirror-image twin brother and Kitiara’s half-brother (they share the same mother). He could not be more unlike his twin, for he is secretive, cynical, and distrustful. Nevertheless, he loves his brother—perhaps Caramon is the only thing Raistlin truly loves. The twins were born when Kitiara was eight. One twin - Caramon - was strong and healthy, the other - Raistlin - was born sickly and frail. It seemed for a while that Raistlin might die in infancy, but Kitiara’s nursing saved his life. Their mother died when the twins were young, and Kitiara took over their upbringing. It was clear from the very beginning that Raistlin was a weakling, and Kitiara despaired of him. Caramon blossomed into a healthy, powerful fighter, and frequently protected his "younger" brother from bullies. Raistlin grew to a bitter hatred of all bullies, and developed a strong desire for justice. The experiences of his childhood soured him on most people, and he grew cynical and bitter at an early age. He showed promise as a scholar and learned to read before he went to school. When Raistlin was five, his father took him to a village fair, where he watched a local illusionist perform. The illusionist was not very good, but Raistlin was totally absorbed in the performance. When the boy returned home that evening, he could perform every one of the illusionist's tricks. His family was amazed. Magic, his father realized, was Raistlin's key to survival in this world.He was taken to a well-respected mage and presented as a prospective pupil. The mage was not overly impressed with the boy, especially because of his weak health and his unlikable personality. But while the mage and Raistlin's father talked, the boy wandered into another room and began to read a huge book. The mage was about to take the book away, but then realized that the boy could read magic without study! And so Raistlin was accepted as a pupil. He learned rapidly, and quickly outstripped the other students. At an unusually young age, he was invited to present himself for the Test—he would come back a powerful magician, or not at all. Caramon accompanied Raistlin on that fateful trip. Raistlin never talks about what happened there, but the terrible ordeals broke his health, turned his skin the color of gold, and changed the pupils of his eyes into hourglasses. His eyes are a terrible curse—for through them he sees time rushing past,and everything die and wither in its time. Personality Raistlin is nicknamed "The Sly One," for he is avaricious, cynical, and secretive. He always expects the worst of others. He is devoted to his brother, yet secretly envies him. He has good qualities, though he works very hard at keeping them hidden: he hates bullies (being a weakling himself). He supports and sympathizes with the downtrodden, though he will not admit his concern. He wears red robes to show his neutral alignment. He has a strong sense of justice, but little sense of mercy. Due to his weak health and a lingering lung infection, he speaks in a soft, whispering voice.

The tests wore heavily upon me. Now I see the world through these hourglass eyes, and much of my health has left me. Yet the magic within me now might give us greater aid. As we departed that place, I recalled the words of an ancientsage: "Use your powers well," he said, "for the time is at hand when your strength must rebalance the world."  hi ya</blockquote>
