The last born in a humble family of eight in the small town of [[Pronia]] in [[Garganthia]], Zenio was the son of the craftsman Mahrdio Periclon and the carer Kleria Kamorian, and had as brothers Casio and Mitron and as sisters Breria, Nothye and Kramzia.

Adolescence
The Periclon family would eventually achieve some sort of economic stability, so little Zenio quietly began normal school but, when he turned thirteen, his eldest sister Kramzia committed patricide following a brutal quarrel with their father regarding Zenio's future. Eventually the sister was arrested and convicted, and little Zenio moved in with the other sisters in Axiomia and lived with them in a small sub-leased attic. To pay off the accumulated debts, the two sisters forced their younger brother to work as a prostitute slave in a men's brothel, living his entire adolescence between bordellos and taverns of the lowest order.
