Advice on how to tie player's backstory to the main campaign

I have this one player whose characters I never really had an opportunity to "do much" with, but it's not like he wanted a spotlight, however this time he wants to do more, he wants to make his character actually matter in the grand scheme of the story, you know? And of course, I want to give him what he wants but I do need some help/inspiration on what exactly to do.

His character is a divine soul sorcerer who has powers given by the goddess of joy, Llira. His character is meant to be on a quest personally given by Llira herself and the player wants this quest to be tied to giants and the "main plot" in some way shape or form.

I don't mind changing stuff in the story to better accommodate the character, I'm just not sure on what to change in an interesting way. Any tips?

I didn't want to ask him to rework the backstory to use another deity cause Llira herself was already a rework. Initially the character was just related to the goddess of harvest, Chauntea, but she was so "bard-coded" that I recommended the player to look up some more "art related" gods.
