Julian knows little of his early life. His knowledge begins from the age of three when his father's ship docked in Andarr and he was met by a woman and a small boy she claimed was his.
That boy was Julian and he found himself growing up on a merchant ship, spending most of his time at sea. When not at sea they rarely saw more than the port district of the city they traded in. The ship, named the Ebony Daughter, was co-owned by Julian's father, Rogner, and his uncle Elfron.
Between the time when Rogner first met Julian's mother and when he first met Julian, he had begun a family with the ship's cook, Geema. They had a daughter, Eekatra, who is Julian's half-sister.
Life at sea presented Julian with a somewhat worldly view from travelling the world, but also quite a naive one from having actually seen next to none of it.
The need to defend the ship from pirates meant Julian started learning the sword while quite young. He never felt quite so happy as when he was swinging a sword, not from bloodlust mind, but from the strength and confidence it gave him.
Realising that a life on his father's ship would be a rather limited one, he decided one day to disembark in Mikona and make a life for himself. He has dreams of mastering the sword, including their creation.
Since arriving in Mikona Julian has joined the Brotherhood of the Blades, a mercenary guild organised by Blake Benneset, enlisted in the M'Chekian Army (joining the Blackhawk company) and has begun the process of joining the A.A.A.A.
While Julian initially had no interest in matters of a divine nature, he has witnessed much since arriving in Mikona and has begun to change his tune. He has been keeping company with followers of Maleki and Ra-Ghul, although he has expressed a preference for Ra-Ghul, and has been discussing joining the faith with his followers.
Since joining the army Julian has been writing letters to his father
--- Update ---
After further contact with the followers of Ra-Ghul it became obvious that the philosophy of Ra-Ghul was very compatible with Julian's own philosophies and he impressed Ra-Ghul followers such as Whisper and Yular who invited him to join The Fury of Ra-Ghul. This he has now done and can be seen walking around Mikona in red armour.
