{{Heading|Background|Blue}}
Ay was raised along with his sister Ateh on Bajor, in the Jolan orphanage, located in Jalanda City. He remembers very little of his birth parents, just occasional flashes and impressions. His sister was a few years older, and always watched out for him.

The Jolan facility was run by a selection of Prylars, and also provided full schooling to any children residing their. As such, there was a certain focus on spiritual matters and the prophets, but the Prylar’s ensured that all other aspects of education were covered, so their wards could emerge as well rounded as possible.

Ay and Ateh grew especially close to Prylar Saro, so much so that eventually adopted them both. When he was old enough to work, he assisted in educating the younger orphans. When Ay was 18 his sister boarded a civilian transport heading for Deep Space 9; it was a journey she had made numerous times before, a simple leisure visit. The ship encountered a particularly violent ion storm, and was never heard from again. Thorough investigations were conducted, however no trace of the ship was every located.

This mystery prompted Ay to look outside of Jalanda City for his future. With Bajor having recently become a full fledged member of the Federation, his course was obvious. Once all funeral practices were properly observed, he enrolled in Starfleet. Throughout his training he kept to his religious practices, including the habit of testing peoples pagh.
