Brom is of mixed Kellid and Ulfen blood which is how he ended up with the mane of jet black hair that is the source of his byname. Brom first met Sandru in a tavern in Magnimar called the Blind Wyvern. It was a seedy sort of tavern, so it isn't surprising that a fight broke out. Somehow Brom and Sandru ended up the only two still on their feet when the watch arrived. The watch didn't care who was responsible for starting the fight. Since Brom and Sandru were the only two that wouldn't need to be carried out of the tavern they were arrested and thrown into the cells. Brom and Sandru spent the rest of the night talking, and in the morning when they were released Sandru offered Brom a job with his caravan.
That was four years ago and Brom has been riding with Sandru's caravan as a guard since then. Brom and Sandru are close friends. Whenever Sandru goes back to Sandpoint Brom goes with him. Koya treats Brom like a member of the family and chides him about finding a nice girl and settling down almost as much as she does Sandru. Brom unfortunately never learned not to gamble with Varisians and recently lost his horse in a game of dice to Sandru. He is hoping he can get Koya to convince Sandru to give the horse back. Brom hasn't spoken much about his past with anyone besides Sandru. It is obvious that he was a mercenary before he met up with Sandru, and equally obvious that he has seen battle from the scars on his body, but when questioned about them he gets a faraway look in his eyes and doesn't answer.
Brom is a wanted man in the lands of the Linnorm Kings. He killed his brother in a drunken fight over a girl they both liked. Several of his scars are from wounds taken while escaping. He has been in the south for ten years most of that time working as a hired sword for one person or another.

Brom is a well tall well built man in his late 20s. His features are a little too coarse to be called handsome, He has a strong jaw, thick brow, and deep set blue eyes. His jet black hair is usually loose except for several small braids at his temples. His clothing consists of sturdy knee high boots, dark leather breeches, a wide leather belt, a linen shirt, dark green waist length wool coat , Heavy leather gloves, and dark green hooded cloak, a colorful Varisian scarf is worn wrapped around his waist under the belt. His bastard sword is carried in a harness across his back. He wears one dagger openly on his belt next to his belt pouch, and a second in a wrist sheath on his right arm. His shield is usually slung across his back on a leather strap. his warhammer is worn on his right side unless hung from his saddle.

Brom is usually a friendly easy going man unless someone asks about his past then he falls into a brooding silence. He was much more stiff and suspicious when he first met Sandru but after years of association the Varisians easy manner has rubbed off on Brom. Brom has a tendency to curse in Skald when angery, upset, or loosing at dice or cards.
