Early years and education
Vossgaard was born in Arzenheim, a small city in eastern Cybria in 1960. His father worked as an accountant, while his mother was a marketing consultant. Suffering from severe asthma, he was often home bound throughout his early childhood. He spent much of his free time reading, developing an early interest in science. Vossgaard cites a summer visit to Dromengren National Park when he was 13 as helping him develop an interest in conservation and ecology.
Excelling in school to the point of boredom during his later adolescent years, Vossgaard was nearly kicked out of Arzenheim Academy for excessive truancy and declining grades. In part as a reaction against his socially conservative upbringing, Vossgaard became involved with the thriving Delkoran counterculture of the 1970's, later reflecting that the period from 1976 to 1981 for him was a "blur of drug use, punk rock, and bad decisions." This frequently brought him into conflict with his parents, resulting in him being kicked out of their home on multiple occasions. In spite of this and other difficulties, he was accepted into Abenvard University in 1977 and began studying biology.
