Berend Butler
Berend Butler
Berend Butler is the adopted son of Thad Butler of Greenfield Manor in the Duchy of Hekmo. He is a 23-year-old Human that was born in the Dalbrok territory of Colo and orphaned during the Second Northern War, along with his sister, Bittie.
Berend remembers that he was a member of the Carty family of the Dalbrok Clan of Colo, and that his father's name was Baden Carty. He does not remember his motheer's name, but knows she had long, blonde hair and smelled like apple blossoms. He recalls that his father was butchering a large hog when their farm was attacked, and his father was killed by Imessian soldiers. These soldiers took his mother, all the horses and all the food they could carry and left the children crying by their father's corpse. Two days later, another group of Imessian soldiers came to the farm, and it was then that Thad found the children and took them in.
Berend now practically runs the inn, leaving his adoptive father an opportunity to visit with and entertain the inn's guests and patrons. He is well respected by most of his neighbors in Greenfield, with only a few of the most obstinate local codgers still using slurs like "barbarian" and "heathen" when referring to Berend and Bittie.
