Jasper was born in Toathe (Toe-ath), and his mother died in childbirth. When he was 11, his father, Askar Murfi, a wealthy, very well-known merchant, moved them to Darvi, in order to be closer to the center of everything. All his life, Jasper had gone out on the street and picked fights, thinking them the only thing in his life he can choose. He has large hands and feet, and never fought with the grace some did, choosing instead blunt, brute force. After one of these fights, he met Buck Sanderson, and they soon became friends. Jasper, not wanting Buck to know who he was, told Buck his name was Leilson, after a storybook hero from long ago. While Buck was not a fist-fighter, and preferred the sword, they taught each other their different fighting styles, sparring occasionally. Jasper found that he much preferred, when he had to have a weapon, an axe, one of the large ones designed for fighting, rather than a sword. When Ravenna came, Jasper went with his father, who as a merchant was not considered a threat, and left alone. The only thing Buck asked of him was to look after Thaerissa, Buck's cousin. Jasper did so, as much as he could, and he waited for Buck to escape prison, for he knew he would. He also got his father to track down Varis, as his father used to be an adventurer, and his father did manage it. Leilson is keeping Varis, planning to give it to Buck when Buck comes back.

Jasper has had the best education possible, though he detested every moment of it.
