Bird Face was orphaned at the Monastery of Knoppe G'wilday, and taken in by the monks there. He was raised by the monks who all had taken vows of silence, and eventually joined them as a member himself. Bird, unlike the other monks, had not taken the Vow of Silence, having being taught that speaking with outsiders may be a necessity. Due to this, Bird took responsibility for some of the tasks that the other monks could not, such as managing visitors of the monastery, as well as purchasing supplies outside of it in a nearby town a few days away.

Upon returning from a supply run, Bird found all members of the monastery slaughtered. In his mix of sadness and rage, and nothing left to keep him there Bird left the monastery to explore the world for answers.

Needing to integrate into society to survive, Bird has discovered that he doesn't quite understand things, like 'inflections' or 'customs' or 'manners.' But he tries his hardest, and in the end, isn't that what really matters? He is easily fascinated and loves learning new information. How this manifests is different in every occasion and surely won't lead to any wacky hi-jinks.

Shortly after leaving his home, Bird had made a impression on a member of the Particiate of Egland with a proverb that enlightened their life, earning Bird an invitation to The Feast of Egland's Best.

After the events of Rosemore Island, Bird found another surviving member of his monastery, and left with them to parts unknown.
