Personal history

Born and raised in Aydindir. He grew up learning only three things; how to make ale, how to serve ale and how to deal with the burden of his entire township looking up to him for leadership. His father ran the Aydindir tavern, as did his father before him. As the ale the tavern makes is the life blood of the small community, the tavern owner is looked upon as a de facto leader of the hamlet. Since his fathers death while Bihiru was still young that role has been his. And it's a duty he doesn't take lightly. He works long hours and negotiates the best deals he can with passing traders, to keep his people well fed and cared for. However is ambition to do well by his people took a hit after his plans to modify his stills for increased output went astray. An explosion in the one of the brewing vats killed his wife and maimed his daughter Sumia Welch. Thanks to the efforts of Australia Zealand Sumia's life was saved, but her right leg was lost. Since that incident, Bihiru is content just doing his best to get by. But that ambition to help his fellow townsfolk always simmers under the surface.
