## Bio;

### Early Life:

Brand was born in Château les Levavers, a great castle in the realm of Andeal to the noble Goldwyn family.

He grew up in a quiet and well-nurtured environment.

### Burning Towers:

At the age of twenty, family friend Gilles Boutet betrayed the Goldwyn family, and killed all of them save for Brand who escaped. He rode to meet with King Francis Valls and told him of the baron’s betrayal. Brand was made one of the King’s guard and King promised to help him reclaim his home.

During the King’s march to the castle, he was warned about the Fomorians, who began to invade Andeal's shore.

During the battle of the fords of Andreth, he would witness the death of King Francis and the route of Andeal's armies, with only him and Absolon Fendal surviving of the royal guard, being rescued form their last stand by the witch Merida Caravel.

He would journey to the village of Sirion, where with the aid of Nevok Lotgit, an elf who fought the Fomorians before, he was able to rally the survivors of the battle and formed the Silver Swarm Warband. During their abandonment of the city he freed and recruited two criminals, the con-artist Nenete Avasil, and the firbolg warrior, Fergus Moldun.

They marched into the town of Torten to find the aid of lord Jean-Baptiste Chastain, but found the town being attacked by the undead. Brand and his companions along with several knights of Andeal followed the undead to their source, an abandoned mages tower. He traveled into the tower Walda Ordonez who told them of the demon Fellock's plans, and together they stopped him. Here he would also learn that his companion Absolon Fendal was actually his half-brother.

Next they traveled to the woods, to meet up with the elves. But on the way, they were ambushed by bandits, and Brand was imprisoned, but he ended up recruiting them and their leader Zdenek Zavas into the Silver Swarm. He met with the elves, and helped them fight off a group of werewolves.

He would then travel to the dwarf holding of Tol-Ogrim, to gain the alliance with dwarves. Here he met with Brafam Olinsson, lord of this realm, who asked them to help him claim the Smir Forge. And so with the aid of the dwarven warriors of Olfar Uristsson, he traveled down into the depths. The group would survive many dangers from within the tunnels, and through the defenses of the forge itself. Here he would find the forge and claim it and the holding for King Brafam, gaining him as an ally.

With his new allies, he would march on the capitol of Cumberland, where he was negotiate co-ruling Andeal with Queen Lisette Gauthier as husband and wife. Now the united armies of Andeal and her allies would hold back the Fomorian invasion of the city. Here he, Blaise Gaurthier, Absolon and Nevok would fight the Fomorian lord Funor atop the tower of the Palace of Kings. Here Funor was defeated, but Nevok would die as well.

Afterwards, Brand was crowned king.

### Kingship:

Brand would rule for many years, and made lots of reformations.

Years later, he would meet with Adolar Lorgarn, who wished to rule over Rogrez. He along side his ally, Edward Parahil of Kamalear, would confront the would-be ruler, yet he persisted and crowned himself emperor over Rogrez and the kingdoms it had subjugated.
