Aliden Eothan born and raised in the capital of the Mark, Edoras. He had a simple upbringing, more middle class you could say. His father being a well know rider of the Rohirrim, his mother a simple healer, tending to any wounded riders or warriors from Edoras. His two younger siblings, a sister and brother being much younger than him, so Aliden would be seen as an example, to teach and show his siblings how to behave...Aliden would of course cause much trouble. 

Alidens day to day life would be varied, as his father would often give him many jobs at the stables or barracks, sharpening swords, re-stringing bows...and in the stables a more messy, mucky job of cleaning out the war steed stables. But in turn his father would not repay him with money, he would repay him with training, by bow and sword....on the ground and horse back. Aliden was seen by his father as a quick learner, as in time he would become quite the young warrior and Aliden always sought to be like his father, but his father though otherwise. His father wanted him to see the world, so..he sent Aliden away to his uncles trading company where he would set off into the world, finding new places of wonderment and meeting many new friends, not that many enemies, he often kept to himself. 

Aliden now finds himself in the north, wanting to return and simply waits for the right momment.
