Between Keepers and their forest-y lifestyle in the Shroud and Seekers sweating it out in the deserts, I just can't figure out how to make a Paladin out of one. Not to mention neither of their cultures seem to support the idea either. I could always go the orphan/raised by another race/etc route, but that seems a bit "Eh" for this character.
The heavy plate class, Gladiator, comes from the desert. So, Ul'dah and its surroundings have a tradition of armored combat prowess, despite their less than optimal location for it.
Additionally, your character is an adventurer -- that means that you've felt some calling to step away from your tribe or family to learn one of the Disciplines in the city-states. In your background, if you consider why your character did that, you might get some clues as to why they wanted to pursue this path. For instance, if your character left to learn how to better defend their tribe or family after seeing the aftermath of Bahamut's attack, they might have chosen the Gladiator for its defensive prowess. Alternatively, if they left to seek fame and fortune, the arena offers that, too.
