Born in Dellhaven to a woman from the Laniveer kingdom, and even from Belcrest. And a father from Brookfield. With his mother having snuck away from home and into Mobrin. Luckily managing to do so without much issue. And met Zedd's father in Dellhaven where they got to one one another and soon being married. Zedd's father being from a long line of wealthy commoners and did well for himself. Managing the town they lived in as well as being skillful in business. Though getting an offer of work in Stormvale had them preparing to leave for the capital. Soon before they did, Zedd was born.
Upon arriving in Stormvale the family lived quite well. His father working with the marketplace and seeing about the running of the area, as if running a mall in modern times. Making sure that all shops were run properly and also having a store of their own where they offered rugs, mats and a bunch of other things made out of cloth. Which Zedd's mother sew. From a young age Zedd helped a little with the running of the store but as he grew a bit he would go along with his father as well. In discussions with other wealthy people in the city and helped to run things and build up the city using the money of the family. Helping to fund projects and getting money back.
Anyone that has been in Stormvale for a bit know the name Davriel. Even so ever so often Zedd would get into trouble or fights as a youth and through his teens. Learning how to defend himself and fight. If mostly by hand. Though as a rather wealthy family he does have a lot of what he wishes and skills that comes in handy. Having tutors to teach him a lot and being highly educated for a commoner.
Thus he has alo always gotten to know of how to run things through the teachers as well as work experience since his early years, around three when he first got to learn a little. Then always continued such things throughout for almost thirty years.
As time continued and Zedd grew up he took even more responsibility and seeing as he had been going with his father since a young age he has been quite skillful in running businesses and a lot of the shops and smiths do have interests with the Davriels. Be it funding or finding people for them. Helping out in ways to get places running and functioning and make the town grow. Being the main commoner family running the city, and therefore needing a connection to the royalty as well.
After his father's not long ago Zedd has been the one to take over and run things. Trying to become the appointed head of the city. Even if he might be somewhat considered such it is just the title that is missing. While his mother, while still alive, is running their own cloth shop still and getting help from Zedd's younger sister.
Also he has some skills in hunting. Bow, using birds or hounds or even with a spear. His primary skill when hunting is the spear though.
When Zedd was in his early twenties he was betrothed but his fiance was killed by bandits. Thus leaving him to remain a bachelor into his thirties. Which some might find odd for a wealthy commoner, whose also not too bad on the eyes according to some.
During his teens, apart from getting into trouble, his father also put him in for learning wrestling and so forth.
