He was the son of a first generation immigrant Celtic Unicorn Wizard and Antiquarian, and a Midwestern Earth-Pony Equestrian Mare and Spiritual Medium with a natural capacity to manipulate ectoplasm and manifest spirits with said ectoplasm.
He was an only son, and intelligent enough to enter into one of Manehattan's most prestigious private academies, Sol Preparatory School. Despite this though, the more esoteric and magical traits of him and his family tended to frighten or weird out most of his mostly Earth-Pony classmates.
