Alright, I need some help coming up with a backstory for one of my characters. He's a 30 year-old NG druid in the campaign Defend thy City! (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75798)
Pretty much I need to explain how he came to be how he is, and where he is. He needs a reason why he's staying to defend a city that, unbeknownst to him, history says lost the battle.
Here is a link to his character sheet:

And although it isn't mentioned on the sheet, here is his personality:
Zemdrias is taciturn to the extreme. Given a choice between talk and action, he will choose action (unless it would actively harm the environment). He can be quite persuasive if he needs to, but he hardly ever feels so.
He is loyal to the extreme, more than willing to fight to the death to protect those he feels loyalty towards. That said, he's not the most trusting of people, and gaining his trust and loyalty is a feat unto itself.
Oh, and I'd prefer not to make his backstory depressing and angst ridden. It doesn't have to be happy, but I don't really want it to be sad either.
