Justan was born in 1626 in Ashkal. Before his birth, Justan's father, Cedronius XII ran away to Ashkal to marry Tayla of Apperford. While Tayla was pregnant with Justan, the Cedronian Revolution breaks out. Cedronius returns to Cedronia to aid his brother and family in defeating the rebels but is killed in the fighting. Tayla dies during childbirth and leaves Justan to be cared for by her twin brother. Cedronius left a sizable fortune to Tayla and is inherited by Justan however his uncle becomes addicted to nos.
Justan grows up in the Seresian ghetto of Shakato however he attends an Ashkali school. Justan eventually meets Laris Visce who teaches him the ancient sword fighting technique known as of Seresian Sword Dance. Laris is killed after someone lies to the Ashkali government and claims that Laris's academy is a training center for members of the Seresian Freedom Army. Justan kills one of the watchmen and goes to the Syndicate to be smuggled to Cedronia. The Syndicate requests that Justan pay them and Justan steals part of his fortune to pay for passage while he keeps the other part for use on the mainland.
Once in Cedronia, Justan comes in contact with the Poor-Fellows and uses the last of his fortune to pay his way into the mercenary group.
