Born to a prostitute mother, considered an illegitimate child from a prominent leader of a mage family. He denounces the rumors, but Roderick’s hair and eyes say it all. No support is given to the mother and she is forced to care for him herself. It doesn’t make for a very happy upbringing.

Roderick learned many things from being surrounded by prostitutes in a brothel. Most were nice and in awe of his appearance. Teaching him how to entertain and various stories (kid friendly of course) was a daily past time. He liked them all.

Roderick is compelled to sing at an early age. It brings comfort to his mother and he starts to gain attention from it, especially from Silvertongue who has connections with his father to start with. A cycle of hatred and anger of his existence ensues with Roderick being exploited when joining physically with others much older than him. This continues well into his adult years, where bruises on all parts of his body and red hand prints don’t go away for a while.

Roderick is a man fueled by hatred, but expertly putting on a charming mask. It’s so much easier to tell people what they want to hear rather than his own pure thoughts and feelings. Because of his experiences, he lacks the means and desire to get close to people and festers in his own hatred.

Because of his reputation as a performer/singer, Roderick has undoubtedly brought a lot of revenue to Silvertongue and is a valuable asset purely for this reason. Known as the Silver Oracle, due to his voice and looks like he was crafted by something divine.
