I think you're right, certainly about him being a mage, and possibly about 
being Valdemar's son; he was certainly Heir.  In the poem "Windrider 
Unchained" at the back of MAGIC'S PRICE, the first stanza reads:

Windrider, fettered, imprisoned, and pinioned
Wing-clipped by magic, his power full drained
Valdemar's Heir is defeated and captive.
With his Companion by Darklord enchained

I don't have the song book, but the lyrics to most of the songs are in the 
backs of the books.
