Brentis Selent

"'I am a man of faith, though not of fate. That is until I ran into you that day my love. As much as I am a religious man, I believe that the light, nor chance had a hand in our meeting. It was simply mean to be'."

"- Brentis Selent discussing fate and belief with his soon to be wife Narissa Fernlen."

Summary
Brentis became the apprentice of a mere blacksmith at a young age. He has no recollection of his parents, and when asked about the subject his mentor simply gave no answer. Over the years Brentis became quite the skilled blacksmith himself and inherited the small workshop left to him by his mentor upon his mentor's deathbed.

Brentis lived what some would call a boring life; Working the forges by day and enjoying a drink on a night. Occasionally he would visit other small towns and baronies outside of the City of Lordaeron during periods where no profit was made. It was on these travels that he encountered a small group of Knights being ambushed by thieves. The Knights were the clear victors, though the sergeant appeared to be injured. While she insisted on continuing on escorting the goods as asked of her, Brentis ensured that the Sergeant was cared for during her short stay within the City. He learned on that eve that the Sergeant in his care was from the Wyrmfyre Barony, and went by the name Narissa Fernlen.

Eventually, Brentis moved to the Amaranthine Barony where his skills were put to work crafting armour for the soldiers of the Wyrmfyre household. His skill and craft were soon recognised, and he became the chief Blacksmith, responsible for the production of the plate and mail armour for the nobility of the barony, mainly the leadership of the Wyrmfyre family. During his years spent serving the Wyrmfyre's, Brentis was blessed with a son, Theradus. However in his sons birth, he lost the love of his life.

However much he wanted to raise his son, he could not bare to look his child in the eyes for he had inherited all of Narissa's qualities; notably the colour of her eyes stood out the most in the newborn. His heart torn, he spoke to one of the Wyrmfyre's whome he had come to call a friend; Solace. Brentis presented his wishes to Solace, whome accepted, and thus Theradus was taken as a ward with acceptance from Oribas Wyrmfyre as well, never realising that the blacksmith whome he saw often was his father. The truth of this shattered Brentis everytime he saw his son walk by, though he new Theradus was safe in the care of the Wyrmfyres.

During the fall of the Amaranthine Barony, just as the scourge threat became apparent, it was reported that the blacksmith had aided the civillians and the like with their escape, volunteering himself to remain behind in the case that anyone had been left behind. This was the last time Brentis would be seen alive.
