Brennar Farsight is a seasoned longbowman and soldier serving in the Newhaven Guard, known for his uncanny precision, sharp wit, and pragmatic approach to warfare. Unlike many of his comrades who fight for honor or duty, Brennar fights for survival, coin, and the simple thrill of besting his enemies. Though not without a sense of loyalty, his allegiance lies primarily with those who prove themselves capable and worthy of respect, rather than lofty ideals of justice or nobility. Born into a family of hunters in a small village at the edge of the Vale, Brennar learned to wield a bow before he could properly hold a sword. His keen eyesight earned him the moniker "Farsight," as he could spot a target long before most men even realized there was something to aim at. With limited prospects beyond a life of hunting and struggling to get by, he enlisted as a longbowman in Newhaven's military, where his natural talent quickly set him apart. Brennar is a pragmatist, relying on his skills, instincts, and a healthy dose of sarcasm to navigate both the battlefield and the politics of the guard. He prefers to stay on the fringes of command, avoiding unnecessary entanglements while doing what he does best, taking out enemies from a distance. Despite his cynical outlook, he's a reliable ally in battle, especially to those who prove themselves worthy of his trust. Though unprincipled, he is not without his own personal code, he despises cowardice, values competence, and will stand by those he calls friends. However, he is quick to cut ties with those he deems foolish or weak, believing that survival should always come first. Brennar is an exceptional archer, his longbow rarely missing its mark. He is also a capable tracker, a skill honed from years of hunting in the wilderness. While he prefers to avoid close combat, he is no stranger to wielding a shortsword or dagger when necessary. Whether stationed on the walls of Newhaven, scouting the wilds of the Vale, or escorting a caravan through dangerous territory, Brennar Farsight is always ready with a well-placed arrow, a quick-witted remark, and an unshakable confidence in his own survival. |
