Yadzah has multi-racial heritage. Her father was half-Sartorian and half-Varagan. Her mother was Virian. She was taken by a begging gang and put out on the streets to elicit pity and donations from passers-by. Lord Andreas Cesario discovered her on a mission and brought her to the Ohrivaal encampment in the Horeb desert of Sartoria. She was subsequently adopted by Nyraldin Halloran and his husband Remyn Saavut. Later, she began training to become the tribe's next Hastamage, under the tuition of her adoptive grandfather Erroll Ohrivaal.
