The background sounds nice enough. Even the justification for the last name is sound: his foster father was trying to raise him as he would his own son. It is a simle solution, but the simplest solutions are sometimes the best.
I do not think there's any poems referencing the Primals, though once the game launches we might find some buried deep withing quests. If you absolutely feel like you must have a poem handy, you should probably write your own or, if you are not confident enough about your poetic skill, write down what the poem talks about on, say, each paragraph. Then you can just /emote it whenever it comes up.
If you do write one, make sure you don't imply via RP or backstory that it's a very important poem. That might bring trouble when talking to other fellow bards who will react with 'Uh, I have never heard about it! You sure it's a famous one?'.
Here's the wiki page on Primals.
On the topic of roleplay: there's nothing saying you can't pre-plan the outcomes on interactions, but I think most roleplayers want scenes* to start and end organically, without any plan (or maybe just a general guideline of what the prefered outcome is). Most often than not, people won't plan scenes out: they will just roleplay and see where things end naturally from there. The only plans you will see constantly are of the 'let's have X and Y characters meet at Z'. Everything from that point up isn't planned, most of the time.
* a scene is not necesarily a pre-planned thing: we call 'scene' to a series of interactions between characters sharing the same space-time. For example: if Jezvin and Ildur meet by chance in the road and talk about the weather briefly, fight a rampaging eft that was close by, joke about it and leave together towards Gridania before they part ways, that's all a whole scene.
For clarification, 'cause some people have wondered in the past if 'roleplaying a scene' meant having it scripted down.
