He was a young prodigy, gifted with a wizard's education. Although in youth he could be considered somewhat of a scamp, in time he grew to be a world-class wizard. In fact, he rose to become a formidable archmage within one of the largest cities in Faerun. He achieved such heights of magic that even Mystra herself--the goddess of magic--noticed him and took him as a lover. Unfortunately, things didn't work out, largely because of his own hubris. He made an attempt to usurp her godhood, but she stole his magic away and cursed him.
I'm not entirely sure yet how she cursed him, but I'm thinking she put some kind of dangerous artifact in his chest. I'm talking a powerful artifact, like one that could, say, destroy an entire city.
He didn't just learn his lesson for his hubris. Now he is burdened with worry, concerned about the potential devastation he could unleash on other folks nearby. Now he has to fight against going through ceremorphosis because he fears such would not only end his existence, but also imperil more lives than even he could imagine.
I'm still working on a name.

And yes, party-pooper above, I know, I can't expect the game to acknowledge my backstory perfectly, but it's just some flavor stuff I like to keep in my head as I'm playing. Let me pretend, will ya?
