Qih'a, like his twin brother Inidias was born in Skatay Range, but that is where their combined story ends for what seems like a lifetime. Like many other tribes caught in the wave of destruction the Garleans brought, the Hrafnwesfv found themselves scattered to the ends of the Star in order to survive. Found and cared for by a Miqo'te family in the Dravanian Hinterlands, he was raised on a chocobo ranch where he later enlisted aid to the Tailfeather hunters to keep the woods safe. From straight to narrow, he learned skills to forge and create new identities for people with help of his connections. In the years following the Seventh Umbral Calamity and in search of his birth family, he was left for dead in a ditch in the frozen wastes of Coerthas upon recovering he adopted the name Qih'a Lihzeh as his new identity.
