Born shortly after his twin, Caramon, Raistlin was always sick from something. Disliked by most other children of Solace, Raistlin was his own best friend, preferring magic to swordplay. He was enrolled in a magical school and there became the youngest wizard to ever take the Test. The wounds he received there--golden skin and hourglass eyes--have affected him tremendously. Switching from the Red to Black Robes, Raistlin challenged Fistandantilus and became the Master of Past and Present, powerful enough to challenge the Dark Queen and win. Raistlin left the world with the gods after the second Cataclysm.
