His parents had no means of takinG care of themselves let alone him, so they brouGht him to a frozen swamp attemptinG to trade him to Trolls for help settinG up an ambush in a local caravan leavinG town. They were killed and just as Homeless Joe was about to be eaten he was saved by Frost Nymphs. They didn't raise him, but they didn't let him die either, the frozen swamp became his home until he was a teenaGer and went back to Skalheim to learn more, a suGGestion by Elly, the Frost Nymph who saved him.
