Taryyn
Born on the west of what is now Scotland, mother was the only daughter of the clan chief (Pictish clan). Father was the son of a Celtic War Captain captured during a raid raids across the Irish Sea.
Father was left for dead during, but then unusually nursed back to health, eventually earning the trust and respect of most of the clan. As a natural warrior, he soon joined the ranks of the clan warriors, always ready to spring to the Defence of the clan, eventually becoming the SwordMaster to the old Chieften.
Not everyone was happy with this, one of the other families in the clan had always assumed that their son would be the one to marry the chieftain’s daughter and take on the role of SwordMaster. Eventually, they saw their chance and took the Chieftanship (killing the Chieften and Taryyn's parents). Only Taryyn (still little more than a youth) managed to get away and travel south.
Eventually finding his way to Eboracum within the province of Brittania Inferior, he joined the 5th Auxillary of the 6th Legion of Eboracum.
He was identified early as being an exceptional swordsmen, upon completing his training, he was transferred to the 1st Auxillary (an 8 man team that specialised in irregular warfare out in front of the legion). Promoted to the rank of Decanus. he commanded one of these elite strike teams.
Eventually ordered to join a group of adventurers that the Legate was using to hold back the picts, he travelled north and joined this unual band.
