a life dedicated to chasing the unattainable wouldn't suit just anyone, but then, trilan is hardly just anyone. from the moment he became aware of his own existence he craved knowledge and was willing to go to any lengths to find it. mostly, this meant travelling to every library he could find and reading every single book inside. of course, when he was younger he had to settle for the books in his town, but as soon as he reached adulthood he said his farewells to his family and set off in search of more knowledge.
but instead of letting real-world experience teach him, he just buried himself in piles of books, and while he learned a lot, he missed out on the kind of things that are only learned by spending time with other people. he travelled from place to place, soaking in what the books there could offer him, and then he would move on. the world passed him by and he didn't realize how much he had missed until the night of a festival when a beautiful, lively girl dragged him out of his hermitage in the library to a dance in the square.
despite his many protests and reservations about being taken from his beloved studies, trilan enjoyed himself more than he ever had before. though he meant to return to his books the next day, he found that he was no longer satisfied with only reading about the world. he wanted to explore it, and learn more about it firsthand instead of hiding away. so his travels took a new, exciting turn as he found news ways to find the knowledge he so loved.
