Brachius Vernan grew up in a Viscount family out in the countryside. His parents were wealthy, and from a young age, the boy was taught the mannerisms of nobility. He learned how to carry himself, how to wield a sword, and most importantly how to communicate with people.
His father, Tarich Vernan, taught him that the most valuable thing in this world was how you could talk to people.
In Saarthal kingdom, Brachius learned quickly that others did not value such a thing so highly. When the boy was 12 years old, his father sent him to the Noble Academy of Saarthal.
The boy found a lot of people like him. They were nobles, but their values completely differed. Brachius Vernan would listen to what the kids his age talked about, yet he found it all so superficial.
If the boy was honest with himself, he much preferred listening to the worries of commoners. On the days when he didn't have to go to school, he would visit little flower shops or merchants' booths in the capital city.
