Background:

Brin was raised by a single mother in a small village in Andoran. He never knew his father, and never questioned why his mother raised him in such a simple, backwater hamlet. Brin became a proficient hunter and woodsman, living a simple but happy life. Then one day his nameless father's past came home to roost, as it turned out he had been an influential member of the Greenfire Circle of Druids. Such activites came with a price, however, as he had incurred the undying enmity of the dark druids known as The Third Veil. Such enmity extended to family as well, and though Brin's mother had sought to keep them hidden, on that fateful day the hiding came to an end. His mother was killed, his home burned, and Brin only escaped with his life because he had been out in the woods hunting. Rightly fearful for his life, Brin fled the Darkmoon Vale and the deadly conflicts of which he knew nothing. Seeing no other option, the ranger crossed the border into despised Cheliax. But, hating the imperialist Chelaxians and their infernal sympathies, Brin was miserable, and sought a swift way out of the nation to anywhere else. Hearing of a boat bound for Sargava, the Jenivere, the young man paid for passage, and set out on the voyage to start a new life for himself.

Description:
Tall, broad-shouldered and well-built, Brin Steffens looks upon the world with experience and sadness that belies his young age. His close-cropped blond hair frames an angular face, neither handsome nor ugly. Brin dresses in the plain brown leathers of a woodsman, favoring no adornment or decoration. He keeps his greatsword near at hand, and his bow strapped to his back; his easy movements demonstrate that he is well acquainted with the use of both.
