The Master druid of the Emerald Grove in the Western Heartlands of Faerûn, Halsin started life as a more free-spirited wanderer. His attachment to nature began as a child when he dreamt of a companion, Thaniel, a child-like nature spirit who was Halsin's best friend. After being held captive as a sex slave in the Underdark for three years, Halsin eventually assumed leadership at the grove. In the year 1373 DR, as the general Ketheric Thorm raised an armies of Dark Justiciars to conquer the region, Halsin joined with the Harpers to stop Ketheric. Though the paladin of Shar was defeated, Ketheric unleashed a horrible curse on the lands in his domain, corrupting Thaniel into the Shadowfell. Haunted by this tragedy and his inability to escape it, Halsin spent the next century researching ways to defeat the curse.
During the Absolute crisis, Halsin began researching the rise in mind flayer infected that were appearing in the Heartlands. A party of mercenaries led by the human Aradin arrived in the area, searching for a treasure known as the Nightsong. Halsin, having learned that the Nightsong served some purpose in ending the Shadow-Curse, eagerly joined Aradin on his quest, though he was quickly captured by a band of cultist goblins at the abandoned Selunite temple they were encamped in. Halsin eventually encounters another band of tadpole-infected adventurers, after his apprentice Nettie tells them about Halsin's capture and potential ability to aid them with their infection. He then offers to aid the adventurers in seeking the cure to their infection in exchange for letting him accompany them to the Shadow-Cursed Lands, where he believes the source is located.
