Bryan Evans

*A.K.A. The Tinkerer, Magic Hands, Vice-President of The Artificer's Association of Silreach, The Skillful Prophet*

## History

In the city of Kalyenyalora in the Dominion of Silreach in the Constructionist Era, Bryan was born. Sired by a Blacksmith father and a Artisan mother, Bryan was surrounded by machinery all his life. He began to show his abilities at a very young- creating little machines as a child, fixing things around the house, and later, the city. His father took apart one of his machines and couldn't put figure it out at all. At just eight (8) years old, Bryan was declared the most intelligent person in the city of Kalyenyalora.

Bryan's talent also sparked the attention of the Artificer's Association of Silreach, who at first, he chose not to join, and establish his own Association. However, due to his age, no one would invest in him. After a year or so, Bryan chose to join the Artificer's Association of Silreach (or AAoS for short), moving to Snagonbrook, the capitol of Silreach, with his parents and siblings. Bryan set the record of youngest person to ever join the AAoS at ten (10) years old, broken only by Tatiana Cogg many years later, who joined at six (6) years old.

Even in the AAoS, which is made up of only the finest artificers of Silreach, Bryan was considered one of the best, contending with the likes of Rowena Reiigh, the current president of the AAS, who actually held the title of the youngest member ever- at fifteen (15), before Bryan joined. While Bryan was incredibly skilled, he wasn't quite as popular as any of his peers. He didn't quite work well with others, which proved to put him at odds with the rest of the guild. Just a year after joining, Bryan left the AAoS.

Working for the AAoS had allowed Bryan and his family to settle into a state of luxury, and without it, Bryan was forced to pick up shady work, getting involved with criminals and the crime underworld, eventually leading him to the organization Dark Fang. He would do work for Dark Fang for two years, before an attack on Silreach by Tarnish the Bronze Dragon and members of the Dragon's Heart cult forced him to team up with the Artificer's Association of Silreach to stop it. After the incident, he decided to stop working with Dark Fang and the underworld and rejoin the AAoS.

Eventually, Bryan rose up in the ranks of the AAoS, becoming the Vice-President. As Vice-President, he had duties that took him all over Illesktryka. When he was 19, on a mission to Corollahad, Bryan met Liliana Peña, a bishop of the Zcthian Church. Impressed with his talents and position, she attempted to convince him to join an elite group of members dedicated to protection and unity of Illesktryka, and to build a force to combat the ever-growing cults spawning in Corollahad. Bryan declined, but they kept in touch.

A few months later, Liliana arranged a conference between Bryan and a few other members, who with some persuasion, convinced Bryan to join. However, it was only after an attack on Eariondela where he decided to move to Corollahad.

As a part of the team, which was aptly named The Prophets, Bryan was an vital asset. He personally built most of the equipment they used by himself. His intelligence helped the team outpace even the main forces of Corollahad. Eventually, they were the first responders to the War on Faith- providing vital pushback that allowed the larger forces to not be taken by surprise or overwhelmed.
