Bryne Vaughn

"You can have your fancy libraries of paper and leather, I'll keep to knowin' where they come from..."

Bryne was born to a modest family in Wales, but quickly proved his knack for traversing woodland and spotting game. He was trained by his lord as a longbowman and gamekeeper, with a view to fighting against the English in their frequent wars, should the need arise. During this time, Bryne met and became very close friends with the lord's cook, Griff Benbras. After an attempted poisoning of the lord by unknown parties, Griff was blamed for being a conspirator. Hearing of this before the arrest was made, Bryne took Griff and fled to England, and the duo spent several years travelling the country, working on an ad-hoc basis for various nobles and knights.

Eventually they came to Nottingham, where Griff settled down as an innkeeper and Bryne worked in Sherwood Forest. There, he came to the attention of the Order of Hermes, who realised his value as a guide, scout and bodyguard to the mages seeking to settle in the covenant there - especially as he seemed to have no problems with interacting with those in possession of the Gift.
