Brenner Silversmith

Brenner Silversmith is a huntsman and former leader of team BSBR, he is the biological father of Grey and Rouge Waldgrun

## Background

Born during the aftermath of the great war, Brenner’s father was a soldier, while his mother had been a civilian. As both parents had lost family during the war, and mistrusted the kingdoms, he was raised in  the wilderness, trained like a soldier from the time he could hold a sword, with his aura unlocked before he was 6 and semblance reigned in by 10. His mother died when he was 12 as a result of acute illness and lack of access to medical supplies, though his father remained adamant about staying in isolation.

When Brenner was 17 he left his fathers side to attend Beacon Academy in Vale, being made leader of team BSBR and partner of Sigal Waldgrun. During their four years, they aided in a mission attempting to aid in the evacuation of Mountain Glenn, failing to do so and encountering a rare breed of grimm known as Dhampir.

After returning to the Academy having failed their mission, the team graduated and went their separate ways, save for Brenner and Sigal who stayed together for several months before he departed after receiving a letter from his father, leaving Sigal pregnant and alone.

During his time in the wilds, he began dedicating his time to hunting down Dhampir nests and wiping them out to protect villages outside the kingdom walls. In the past few years, he made his return to Vale while tracking a particularly large group responsible for the destruction of several settlements.

## Personality

A very level headed and strong willed individual, Brenner has nerves like steel and resolve based around keeping others from harm at the hands of the grimm. Tends not to involve himself in political matters and actively avoids deployment orders and missions assigned by the kingdoms.

Ever since inheriting the heroes brand, Brenner has traveled following an invisible path, one which guides him across Remnant, extinguishing the darkness of grimm wherever he finds it. On the rare occasions he enters a kingdom, it is to resupply on ammunition, or seek aid for a challenge beyond even his own considerable skill.

## Appearance

Brenner is a very hard aged man with short dirty hair, he wears black jeans with a heavy duty belt containing the holster for Rise and sheath for Fall, and plain brown long sleeved shirt with steel capped leather boots. When traveling he adds a wide brimmed hat and leather trench coat.

Has his symbol tattooed on his left forearm, covering most of the inside.
