Ezreal is in his early twenties, somewhere in the twenty to twenty-three range. Maybe you'd expect older from someone who's seen as much world as him, but the dude's a prodigy! ... with a lot of free time once he ditched university.

Speaking of which — Ez was accepted into The University of Piltover at a startingly young age. He passed his entrance exam with flying colors, and just about every class after it. A brilliant mind, yes, but with passion elsewhere; school was an obligation, one made of his parents' and uncle's expectations.

If he had to be on campus, he was going to find ways to entertain himself. Ez got into trouble frequently, though consequence rarely came thanks to Professor Lymere's influence. Most of his antics were harmless, pranks and the like... most. The stealing less so, though he's quick to call it "borrowing" with a long, long list of IOU's.

He never graduated. After the disappearence of his parents (and it was a disappearence, he swears, no matter what his uncle says...), Ezreal started working towards a goal: find them. He drafted a map, collated notes from his parents' studies, "collected" supplies from the university, and wrote a goodbye note for his uncle. Once he started for Shurima, he didn't look back for a long while after.

Being traveling archaeologists, Ezreal's parents were almost never home. It wasn't unusual for them to go on months' long trips, leaving their son behind in an empty mansion. When his uncle wasn't watching him, it was a revolving door of nannies and tutors, most of which were very strict. He couldn't tell you any of their names, really — only the needless rules they would enforce.

His mother was an exceedingly talented navigator with a passion for creating maps. This love found it's way into Ezreal, and cartography was his favorite subject to study as a result. His private journals are filled with star charts and handmade maps, all intricate and based on the adventures he takes.

^ Ez always takes notes when visiting somewhere new. It's kind of obsessive, really, but it's an interesting glimpse into his mind. Guy who says "who needs a map?" but really means "who needs a map when I've got a better one?"
