## **Biography**

### Initial Encounters

When the adventuring party first met Brink, he was entertaining some young people outside the Thrown Gauntlet Tavern in Boulderay by casting colorful bursts of fireworks and farting noises at some chickens. When he insulted Gum Gum, Kyborg confronted Brink about his attitude. Brink responded with another insult, this time aimed at Kyborg. Kyborg threatened to fight Brink, but Brink agreed only on the condition of wagering 10 gold pieces to the winner. Kyborg was knocked out of bounds by Brink just as quickly as he wagered gold he didn't in fact have. Defeated, Kyborg gave Brink all the gold he had (3 gold pieces) and Bart used minor illusion to make it appear Kyborg has paid the full amount.

The party next encountered Brink (at least his image) in the basement of Infinight Headquarters. During their training as Infinight Interns, Brink appeared seeking revenge for being shortchanged in the fight earlier with Kyborg. Able to successfully complete the training, Brink used "misty step" to disappear.

It was revealed that Brink Tussler was an Everguard when he briefly emerged from the portal in the chapel in Pyous Pass to collect the enchanted goblet of Elleve.

### Deja Ürbloom

When the Infinight Interns first reached Ürbloom, they found the city engulfed in the effects of Slique's time-manipulation lute. The party encountered their own decaying bodies and an aged and dying Brink. Brink told them to go back and convince himself to help the party. Brink gave the party Hannibal's tag and the Recapitulator, turning it five times in order to send the party back a few days. The aged Brink died just before the Recapitulator sent the party back in time.

Brink was next encountered exiting the Biergarten Pub in the Grübdorf District shortly after the party finished their tour of the city. He was accompanied by several Everguards. Brink, the Everguards, and the party got into a brief altercation, when the ringing bells of the Noon Tower in the Glocken Square caught their attention. Brink and the Everguards departed for the Glocken Square just in time for Slique to begin his performance. The Evergaurds with Brink the emerald field surrounding the square and almost immediately died from old age. Rescuing Brink from vines growing uncontrolably from the ground near the Glocken Tower, the party noticed that Brink was missing his flying pet snake Hannibal.
