Born blind, Boden was gifted with vast superhuman senses by a spell cast by The Dagda.

Boden excelled in combat training, becoming one of the foremost warriors of Avalorr despite not seeing in the conventional sense. Boden became the companion of the thunder god Taranis, joining him on many adventures across the realm of Otherworld over the centuries. And when Taranis was returned to life after his imprisonment for 800 years by the dark elf Vanthana Shadowmoon, Boden joined him on the mortal plane.
