Alaqa once belonged to the Horo tribe - a group of Xaela that felt bigger meant better - and was born a runt, much smaller and slighter than his elder brothers. Throughout his life he was mercilessly teased for his build by both adults of his tribe and children that learned the behavior from them. At age 12, a fight that resulted in Alaqa half-deafening another boy by breaking his horn and the subsequent lack of parental support that followed caused Alaqa to leave his home and his tribe for good, renouncing the name of Horo. Attempts to join any other tribes that he happened upon were met with laughter, failure, or defeat. Alaqa grew to resent other Xaela and took to the wilds of the Azim Steppe, living and surviving alone for five years before setting his sights on distant shores to prove himself strong, heading first to Kugane, then to Eorzea with naught but his skills and an extremely limited understanding of the Eorzean language.
