But overall despite his past (under age of century) is unknown, but what is known is that he managed join Erelhei-Cinlu magical academy despite no house sponsorship nor insane bribery (some suspect blackmail or giving precious artifact as trade to headmaster). He studied and excelled as enchanter, he easily charmed his way to the top to scoreboards and any teacher took him as precious pet who to groom to greatness.<br/><br/>But when time came where finish his studies he chose none the academy mentors whom he had wooed with his charisma and presence; but choose rather most influential drow archmage who was immune to his charms. Anybys Velifane. He courted her, she declined, but stories tell then Aergrim pulled a ploy on her which succeeded and threw then teaching him as her greatest challenge of her life; a specialist who had forsaken learning evocation and transmutation, taught how to fight against raw power of arcane.<br/><br/>She took the challenge, Aergrim lived by his wits and skills alone everyday where as personal vendetta Anybys crafted tests and encounters which should had killed the magical rake for good, but he kept surviving by his marvelous cunning. The teaching was short but intense and he then 'graduated' from Anybys studies and declared himself as among greatest mages of Erelhei-Cinlu, facing challenges from house mages who take him just as braggart....but they all have died and he have without mercy looted treasures and mages spellbooks on his own.<br/><br/>In his braggart nature it's unknown how Arissa Auvyrahel managed convince him become house mage. So far inquisitive and curious sort have got one answer (perhaps one version of one lies which Aergrim spreads); "I joined, cause I found idea running business in form of banking and turning other lesser houses or even greater houses indebted to her as marvelously delicious deviant idea of Lolth faith power structure; where weak rule the strong instead always the strong." It is unknown is this entirely true or false, but it's clear he enjoys his new position and entire harems of slaves make use of personally or mold and shape them with his magic. May purpose be pleasure, labor or warfare. His skills are so good he has been rented to help other slave breaking and stock improvements, but he never sell his own creations unless matron mother otherwise decides (and she rarely does, as she has eye for beauty of his creations).
