Absolon was born as Angus, son of Edmund, in the southern parts of The Isle of Man. Aged 9 years old, he was taken from his home by a redcap of The Aran Rolny Covenant. This redcap, Guillard of Toulouse, was visiting the magi of Loch Leglean tribunal's covenant of Angus Coctus and heard the story of The Calf Of Man. When investigating this, he noticed the Gift in Angus and bought him from his parents.

Absolon was partly given to his master, Lombardo Ex Flambeau, who wasn't a good example of an magus. He was far too much interested in the doings of mundanes and did not care for learning and teaching the arts of an magus. Absolon was very quickly known for the incompetence of his master and the reputation stuck on him too. He wasn't as much distinct form the Order as his master, but learned none the less many things about the mundane world as well during his apprenticeship.

In the 10th year in Aral Rolny, his master's actions caused an terrible accident in his laboratory and caused a misfire which very nearly cost Absolon his life. He survived, but was scared to use his powers in Perdo and drawn much too early towards the Wizards Twilight.

Last three years of his apprenticeship he spent in Outremer with his master, learning the art of warfare and skills of an infantryman along with the final studies in magic. In the summer of 1189 he returned to Southern France for the gauntlet. Soon afterwards his master returned again through Italy to Palestine. Absolon followed him in the spring 1190 and served first as a chirurgeon's assistant and after that as a foot soldier for the infantry of the Knights Templar.

In the early spring of 1193 he returned to Aran Rolny only to be exiled in the winter of the year 1196 from the covenant. His master had suffered the same fate half an year earlier and Absolon was cast out because of his close ties to his master (although some say that his christian and un-orthodox manners were the real reasons). Absolon then traveled north to his homecountry, the Gaelic Northern Britain. After asking for a place in Horsingas Covenant in Loch Leglean he was directed to the Insula Maledictus where he arrived in the summer of 1197.

Now Absolon is a member of Insula Maledictus council and appointed as a Warleader of the covenant. He enjoys the quiet time in his lab and is quite happy with exploring the making of magical enchancements and vim-based magic.
