Reginald Ardall was raised on a horse farm in Southern Bree-Land. His parents were not extravagantly wealthy, but they had a little more than most. There little bundle of extra was enough to pay for Reginald to have a tutor until he was about 16 or 17. He was allowed to study medicine at the Scholar's Stair, and apprenticed part-time with a doctor, while he was there. After his time with the scholars was finished, he moved to a small town in Bree-Land and apprenticed with the physician there. Finally, after completing his apprenticeship, he signed on as a physician with Archet's town guard. There, during the attack by the Blackwolds, he suffered a severe leg wound, which never healed properly. To this day he must keep a cane with him at all times, in case he should need it. He is currently working with Dr. Greenwill at the Bree Watch.

Though he does not like dangerous adventures, he enjoys travelling. He has often traveled to the Shire, Thorin's Hall, and he spends most of every Yule in the town of Winterhome
