Brannon Tatham

“He who does not walk against the arrows cannot talk about the strength of his shield!”
-Brannon Tatham 
== History ==
The son of Tatham the Elder, a mercenary knighted for battlefield valor, Brannon was trained at arms from a young age. Determined to be his own man, he distanced himself from his father and became squire to a disgraced knight. During this time, he became the lover of an impoverished noblewoman, Countess Fortune. He would sire two sons with her, Tolumvire and Vitreous; the former would be sent to an orphanage, the latter raised by a a close friend. Brannon would eventually distinguish himself and join the Queensguard, the twelve knights who protected the monarch of Guilddon. 
== Personality ==
Stubborn and proud, Brannon Tatham was a man who refused to compromise or admit his mistakes. Intensely charismatic, he made those around him feel safe by his presence. Perhaps as a result, Brannon took umbrage when others did not put their trust in him, and would never accept blame when he let others down. 
== War of the Philosopher-Kings ==
By the time of the War of the Philosopher-Kings, Brannon had retired from the Queensguard. Word had reached him long ago of the deeds of his son Tolumvire, astonishing him and leaving him with a sense of uneasy sense of pride. He would leave his retirement when Guilddon was attacked by Atlantis, and fight alongside the other knights. Category:Shield Campaign
