Background/Past: Constance and Cornelius had happily found out they would be expecting a baby around the time caduceus was 3ish in human years. Finding out about the baby, the clay family had set up a crib and a baby's room, preparing for the new addition to the family. However, before the last month of Constance's pregnancy, she lost the child and became heartbroken. Cornelius, not wanting Constance to look out to the graveyard and see their baby's grave, decides to create the grave in the furthest part of the Blooming Grove.

They lay with heavy hearts, the baby to rest and bury him in a small clover field just at the very edge of the Blooming Grove as planned. However, checking on the grave for the next few years had brought less comfort as the clover in that spot never grew back. So, after a while, the Clay family stopped visiting the burial site leaving the area to remain as is. As Constance prays to the wild mother every night, she asks for the grave to grow clovers once again while unknown to her, the grave itself springs with life differently.

Myrkul, the god of the dead, intercepts these prayers whispered to the wild mother, and it catches his interest. Deciding to mess with fate, Myrkul raises the buried child giving it life once again. The child (Around 5 in human years) digs desperately in the thick mud that's piled on him and breaks through to the surface. The moonlight greets the boy, and the figure of Myrkul standing dark and mysterious in the moonlight. Myrkul speaks to the boy telling him that he's been given a second chance at life and that he will obey Myrkul's every word. Not knowing any better, the child nods, agreeing, and with that, Myrkul waves his hand, allowing the child to take his first breath of air.

Ripping out clover from the ground, Myrkul gives it to the boy and tells him to give it to the first person he sees on his journey. Then, sending the child off, he disappeared into the night. The boy crawled for days and days, drinking and eating anything that was within his reach. Finally, after weeks he had stumbled upon a path made of smashed dirt and weeds. A cart with a man and woman had made its way down the path before stopping immediately seeing a child crawling along the side. Jumping out, the woman cries out, seeing the dirty and underweight boy asking everything she can so they can find the child's parents. Getting nothing, the man asks the boy his name. Then, simply doing what he was told, the boy holds out his hand full of clovers from the grove. Seeing it useless to try and get information from the boy, they decide he's been abandoned and name him Clove after the clovers he gave them.

Bringing Clove back to Rexxentrum, he is brought into the couple's home, which turns out to be a home for abandoned children (A variety of orphanage). Starting off knowing nothing, the couple quickly begins teaching Clove knowledge of years he missed. Clove found it enjoyable to learn new things as he grew, so he studied hard, earning him a spot in the Soltryce Academy. While Clove took up his new life, Myrkul visited him teaching him ways of death and using it to his benefit. Necromancy, having become Clove's specialty in the academy, earned him attention from Trent Ikithon as he was soon put into special training. From ages 10 (Human age-wise) to the current day (18 years old human age-wise), Ikithon has kept Clove close as a student putting him through situations similar to Caleb.
