Personal history

Growing up with a strict, conservative father, Brynhildr Keeneye was never allowed to enjoy the finer things in life. His mother, Verna, died during child birth leaving Bryn's father to raise him alone. When Bryn grew older, his father, Thorwyn Keeneye, would scold him if he was found reading books or practicing languages rather than training for combat. The Keeneye's where a proud family of scouts, perimeter guards and watchmen. Thorwyn, being the Captain of the Watch, expected Bryn to take his place one day. But for Bryn, life as a guard just didn't seem all that exciting. So it was out of rebellion that Bryn decided to start dabbling in magic. He would spend his free time in the library reading books about arcane artifacts, studying ancient scripts and learning the basics of magic. But as fate would have it, Bryn was never able to fully grasp the complexities of magic. This venture into the mystical arts distracted him from his martial training. It soon became clear to his father and his teachers that Bryn would never live up to the Keeneye name. That was until the fateful day when he attempted a seance.
 
A travelling merchant sold a scroll to Bryn with the promise that it would allow him to contact his deceased mother. Hours later, his father would find him sprawled in the center of a pentagram, seizing and foaming from the mouth. The candles used during the ritual had long died out. When his father finally got Bryn to calm down, he was practically insane, mumbling incoherent gibberish and not responding to his fathers pleas and cries. The next day, Bryn awoke with full faculties, sound mind, and a new-found eagerness to return to martial training. His father never spoke of the incident and no one knew what happened during those fateful hours. All that Thorwyn knew and cared about, was that his son somehow grew into a potent and capable wielder of the warhammer.
 
As for Bryn, he never was able to contact his mother, but he did come into contact with The Dark Maiden. And she was more than willing to make a deal.
