Born into a Gondorian military family, Devamir was raised with the intention of joining the Gondorian Army and stand against the darkness of Mordor. As he came of age, he did join the army, but his lust for adventures and seeking out encounters got him into more trouble than good. He eventually decided to resign from the army and become a travelling mercenary. A few years later, Devamir met his future travelling companions; Ilrohen Deormund and Goriun Tinderbeard. They met at a tavern, where a brawl broke out, the three stood together and became friends. They travelled through Middle-Earth where they later met the Elf Areimil Dunrana and the Hobbit Chimma Barrelbinder. Together they became a travelling band and shared in many adventures together.
