Nothing is known about the boy named Alastair de Burgh except he was left orphaned after his parents’ rental flat caught fire. Neighbours saved the infant when one of the young men climbed up to the second story balcony and found him crying on the floor. It’s unknown how the child survived given that his parents died of smoke inhalation before the neighbour arrived. He was unable to recover Alastair’s parents’ bodies, which were both consumed by the flames. Alastair was taken to an orphanage and ultimately adopted in Ireland. In his early adult life Alastair found an ancient burial ground and accidentally discovered the mythical sword Fragarach, or the Sword of the Air, which granted him multiple mystical abilities and adorned him in mystical garments and armour. Calling himself Ruadàn, after the Irish mythological figure, and possessing invisibility and near-silent movement through the air, Ruadàn strives to fight a new wave of mystical and metahuman evils in Ireland.
