Brahn is hopeless when it comes to directions. Tell him to go right and he will go left, vice versa. Despise all his happiness Brahn is starting to hear the call, but refuses to listen to it.(the fake calling)
HISTORY: The Gillen family is one of warriors, ever since they left Kal-Sharok centuries ago for reasons unknown they have shown their value on the battlefield. Mercenaries, guards and soldiers name it, as long as it involves a possible fight they are in for it.
From this lineage of fighting surface dwarves Brahn is born. His parents thought him how to fought from an early age, and as he matured into his teens he took on little jobs. Mostly escorting caravans through the steppes of the Anderfels. Always on guard for darkspawn attacks, a threat that was always present. It was on one of those trips he encountered grey wardens, they had a similair destination as his caravan. The groups teamed up, until they would reach their crossing point. A smart move as an attack indeed occured. Stuck between two walls of crumbled ruins the darkspawn attacked. Was it not for the wardens they would have all died on the spot. Coordinated fighting like Brahn had never seen before. It was amazing! With only a single casualty the fight was over and Brahn his mind was set. He finished his contract and joined the grey warden ranks, for many years of loyal service.
His routine in the anderfels was stopped when the fifth blight hit. It was a long way for them, so instead they waited for messages of Orlais who were sending wardens to help aswell. But they heard nothing, eventually a small squad of wardens was send to look into the matter. The moment they arrived the blight was over by a week. So instead of going all the way back, they decided to stay a little bit longer. Help out the Ferelden wardens with increasing their numbers.
Time practically flew by as this was already ten years ago. The dwarf is still recruiting for time to time, but his current concern is the missing of numerous wardens.
APPEARANCE: Brahn is a man past his best years. His body is heavily scarred from the daily fights with darkspawn. Atop his battle scars, wrinkles start to show. A battle of time that he can’t win. Hair that was once a mixture of brown and blonde now starts to shows grey and white locks. Like every dwarf Brahn isn’t exactly what you can call tall, but his presence makes up for that.
