Serian grew up in Illian, due to his father being a noble he spent lots of time at formal occasions and in his mid teens he spent some time listening at the kings court. Serian had a brother and a sister who were older than him and no younger siblings. His brother who was the oldest moved to Shienar when he was 18 hoping to become soldier for the king. When Serian was 15 his sister became ill and died, his parents were so grieved by this that Ihsan's mother killed herself and his father took to drinking. In no time his family's wealth had run out.

One night a band of whitecloaks came riding through the town, and they were looking for a false dragon they thought was there. Most of the towns inhabitants gave them trouble, and Serian's father was drunk enough to think that he could give them a fight. The whitecloaks ended up killing most of the inhabitants except Serian and a few others. His father was dead. Serian no longer had any tie to Illian so he left.

Serian first went to Shienar looking for his brother. He later found out that his brother had been killed at Tarwins Gap while he was fighting Trollocs. Serian wandered around looking for adventure for a few years. In Baerlon he found a man named Dannil Nachiman who had lived for a while in Tar Valon. Serian lived with Dannil for a few years and in that time Dannil taught him how to use the flame and the void. Dannil also taught Serian how to use the sword. On the day that Serian was to leave Dannil gave him his Heron-Mark sword and told him that now he was a true blademaster.

After his stay in Baerlon, Serian decided that he would go to Tar Valon and train to be Warder. By the time that Serian got to Tar Valon he was 22. Serian is 5'8", weighs 180lbs, has black hair, blue eyes, he enjoys fighting and to most peoples surprise he enjoys cooking using his talents for preparing food that he had learned during his travels.
