Brund Oenthu

Brund Oenthu is a wandering beggar who has seen many things on his trek across the various lands of Ascanthus. He has journeyed for somewhere around 35 years.

Biography
Not much is known about Brund before his journey began, but he has very little urge to go back to his old life, whatever that may have been. Though, it is known that only a few years after reaching adulthood, he wandered off into the desert of Lysos and has not been seen by his family since. He tells many people different things, but as of yet he has not revealed his true origin. Also, no one is quite sure why Brund has adopted the guise of a beggar, considering that with his skill in various practices of hand-to-hand combat, he would be easily suited for knighthood...or even a merchant guard.

Alexshire -
Having arrived at Alexshire randomly, Brund was unjustly assaulted by the a couple of town guards. The ensuing scuffle landed him in the middle of the barroom brawl coincendently occuring nearby. Both situations were resolved rather quickly, by the invasion of the barbaric southern tribes. As a man with multitude of combat experience, Brund accompanied a young guard leading a group to provide distraction while the rest of the town evacuated. Oddly enough, their distraction had no effect and the whole town was wiped off the map anyway. -1 for the good guys.

Physical Appearance
Brund stands at an imposing 6' 4", and he is built quite like a tree. In fact, the mistake has been made more than once. He is dressed in given clothes that he has embroidered himself. As a wanderer, he carries an assortment of objects on his person, mostly kept in a knitted brown knapsack. He generally prefers earthen colors, greens and browns that reflect the inner serene nature. Opting for full-length tunics as opposed to pants/shirts combos, he chooses such for greater mobility. Though, after having spent the night in the castle at Cantaras City, out of a kinship with the group Brund knitted a pair of very expensive pants...from the bed linens.

Personality and Traits
Most would determine him as off-balance, but that is not true at all. At most, Brund is out of practice with social graces. His long-term isolation and wandering has settled to a solitary life. Likewise, he is untrusting of those he meets, but at times he simply goes where the wind points him...or so he says.

Relationships
So far, Brund has no personal relationships of note.
