Let's delve into my character's scary past history…

Yolos spent most of his early years in a small, decaying monastery where he had been abandoned on the worn steps at a very young age. The monks of the monastery, peaceful yet set in their ways, had decided to take him in and raised him under their teachings and he seemed destined to lead their solitary, reclusive existence for the rest of his life. However, the monks soon found that Yolos had a taste for mischief and took great delight in playing pranks on his unfortunate ‘brothers’ at every given opportunity. One prank, however, led to his expulsion from the only world he had ever known... :D
