Since that isn't very helpful, and since you want to tie into the established setting, then I would suggest checking out any factions or locations of your game world. If there is a group of rangers or an arcane order of wizards then you can perhaps be a member of their organisation. If there is a major city nearby then you may have been a criminal from that city or a one of that city's guardsmen. If there are a unique pantheon then a cleric of one of their orders should help tie you into the world as you travel about spreading the faith.I don't know how much you really need as a backstory, but if you can work with one of the above and then add 2 or 3 more sentences that should hopefully round out your character.</blockquote>
