Vaati, once was a boy with undoubtable potential, strong pride that could outbeat a pack of lions, one of the best of the young mages that wanted to surpass the great sage to take the position and protect one of the horrendous and mentally draining sanctuaries given to any minish tribe but the cause of this was the greater good of all for it contained more than just some magical stone.
'The Minish Cap'
Or as known to humans as the 'Yokubō no kanmuri' soon to be stolen by the so-called "protector" of the sanctuary that then became the Cave of Eminence. The 'Yokubō no kanmuri' , the creation of this unworldly object was made by three craft fairies from the world of humans, the minish was to protect it from greedy and malicious souls but achieved nothing but failure due to one of their own that betrayed them in their own home. Vaati became the traitor of all Picori after he almost succeeded in destroying everything the minish stood for, the hunger in his eyes, how he craved for power though raised and accepted with love moreover discipline. None stood in his way,that's when the king of the humans made the decision to send a chivalrous young boy to intervene in the clashes between the evil minish and the 4 other Picori tribes leaving only death and ashes that sweeps the land..
