Sixteen years before the beginning of the game, a council of kings took place in Dundrasil to discuss the reincarnation of the fabled Luminary as Rab's newborn grandson. Catastrophe would strike on that very night, however, with the monster hordes of Mordegon siege Dundrasil to kill the infant before he can grow to challenge the evil sorcerer.

Having accompanied her father, [[King Carnelian]], to the king's council earlier that day, she had spent time playing with queen Elanore and the newborn Luminary when the monsters attacked. Being entrusted with the infant's life by the queen, Jade carried his basket into the forest and lost if over a waterfall as she fled her pursuers. Hearing her story, the hope that his grandson still lives took hold of Rab's heart and he set out alongside the princess to travel the world int he hopes of finding him.

Rab is first encountered by the party in [[Octagonia]] as a participant in the tournament alongside Jade. Without revealing his identity to the party, he assists in the battle against monster beneath the town and admonishes [[Vince Vanquish]] for relying on such dangerous stimulants to win his battles in the tournament, but agrees to keep the matter a secret as the young martial artist only did it for the good of the town's orphanage. Once the [[Yellow orb]] is claimed by the Luminary, Rab asks the group to accompany him and Jade to the ruins of Dundrasil where he explains the situation and his connection to the man. The party holds a candle light vigil for the fallen King and Queen, with Rab tearing up as he proclaims that their son is still alive.
