Brennyn Varron's page

Brennyn Varron is a native to Sandpoint, his family having moved there when he was little over two years old from the nearby city of Magnimar. His father was a clerk following the caravans and ensuring they paid the correct taxes. This meant that the Varron family were not the most popular of individuals in the small town and Brennyn often found himself fighting the children of men who his father had chased down about tax evasion.

All of this led to rage building slowly under Brennyn's skin. He thought it was unfair that he was being picked on for his father's profession but as he came into his teenage years, a large growth spurt put paid to most of his peers picking on him but it meant that those that did either were the same size as him or they came at him in a gang.

Brennyn's father tried to ensure that he got a good education, but he rebelled and spent time skulking around the town getting up to no good. He railed at the thought of following in his father's footsteps and wanted nothing more than to get out of Sandpoint as soon as possible.

That isn't to say that Brennyn was a bad kid. He regularly stood up for the other children who were getting bullied and developed a few fast friendships although as he's aged those have tailed off as they've gone on to have children of their own.

When the goblins attacked Sandpoint, Brennyn assisted in its defence which mended some bridges, but unfortunately Brennyn's mother was one of the locals killed by the goblins. It broke his father who retired immediately and has begun a slow descent into alcoholism. With no other source of income, Brennyn has been forced to sign on as a caravan guard in order to keep food on the table whilst attempting to keep drink out of the hands of his father.

Brennyn is wily and smart, although not book smart. He doesn't always approach a problem with brawn but when other avenues are exhausted, or if violence looks to be the quickest solution, he doesn't hesitate to put the other person on their backside.

That said, he has no real concept of battle tactics. Generally, he hits the biggest person in the opposing group and hopes that scares the others into backing off. His time as a guard has leant some knowledge of tactics but nothing of real worth.

Brennyn is both close and distant with his father. He views the man as the reason for his problems, but as his only remaining parent Brennyn doesn't wish to see him dead. Brennyn spends much of his time trying to keep alcohol out of reach of his father but when he's away with the caravans then it proves difficult which is an eternal source of frustration.

Brennyn is muscular, although not as muscular as some of the other men in the town. He's average looking, neither ugly nor particularly handsome. His armour is beaten and his weapon has seen better days but he tries to keep them well enough serviced.

He has shoulder length brown hair, usually kept tied back with a small strip of leather. His eyes are also brown, a deep brown like the earth.
