Irori could communicate fluently and with great intelligence before his first year and by his third year he grew a reputation as a man of incredible wisdom. Upon his fifth year disaster struck, a terrible storm set fire to the house. Irori chose to save his family's most prized possession first before attempting to save them and as a result was orphaned on that day.
