If you look out for background info, then go deep, deep deep into the oldest threads this forum has to provide - within the Divinity 1 sub-boards.
There would be perhaps even more in the Old Forum - but that's lost as far as I know.
You could also look through the topics I created myself, because I was always interested in the background lore of the first Divinity game, and collected and speculated a little bit.
But that's all sooo long ago that I'm not even sure anymore if there is anything left ... Barnabus and Kiya could be names you might chck as well ...
