Nereus was an orphan at a young age, homeless and living off his only skill, fishing at Lake Aurora on the Silver Land. At the age of 12 during a fishing trip he noticed a boat going by, in which a young girl, around his age and formally dressed sat. She wave at him as she went by, yet an older man on the boat, most likely her father, turned her away, glaring at Nereus. Nereus remembered that day as he grew, children began visiting him to listen to his stories. He spoke of legends, such as the Sieghart story, and soon he himself became a legend, known as the "Rivers Son". As he turned 19 the young lady he met came to visit him, revealing herself to be Shannon Falcington, daughter of Nohansen Falcington, mayor of the town Nereus was in. She frequently visited him, the 2 getting along well, and 4 years later, they wed. They had 3 children also, Emily, Jean and Rufus. Another 2 years later the Silver Land came under invasion by Kaze'aze, and as the Silver Knights struggled to keep foes at bay aswell as the crowd of horrified civilians under control, Nerues lost his son Rufus. As he, Shannon and his 2 young girls were evacuated to Serdin, he made a vow to save his son, and learn the way of combat. As the Grand Chase were dispatched he was sent to join them about a month later, and began to pursue them to search for his son.
