Vaden was born in 5515, to parents who hailed from the Hanarin Clan of the Thaneeri but were enslaved by House Mercur of the Far Coast. Vaden grew up in slavery, and remained so even after his parents died and he grew into manhood. His servitude ended in 5535 when orcs attacked the dwarven city of Nirzumbil. Several merchant caravans were trapped in the city pending the assault, including House Riverine and House Mercur. When House Mercur fled the city, Vaden stayed behind and joined House Riverine in defending the walls of the city, and in the aftermath was declared freed by the dwarves. The now ex-slave joined House Riverine as a mercenary and participated in many adventures, eventually becoming famous for riding a horse, something even most slave Thaneeri refused to do. His actions, including his complicity with the Empire, made him an enemy of many Thaneeri Clans, and Vaden even fought a famous duel on the bridge between Dwillingir and the Far Coast.

After helping to slay Lolth in 5546, he headed into Thaneeri lands in order to "cleanse himself of the stink of fiends". Since then, he has become something of a minor legend amongst the Thaneeri, living as a rootless hermit with no clan, coming out of the mountains in the spring to barter furs and occasionally appearing to fight some source of evil fiends before disappearing again. Many of the Thaneeri have taken to calling him Tyilok Voth Huthir, which means "The Ghost of Vengeance".
