Brastias

Sir Brastias is the head of Uther's bodyguards, and his most loyal and trusted man by far. Brastias has dedicated his life to serving the king, and more than once has been willing to lay down his life to protect Uther. It is only by virtue of his skill in combat, strength of body, and sheer toughness that Brastias has managed to live a long life so far.

Personality

Sir Brastias is a very serious fellow, and extremely suspicious by nature. Very few people have ever seen him smile, and he rarely socializes. He has been described as the most intense knight in the Kingdom of Logres on many occasions.

Important Deeds of Note

Sir Brastias has personally killed five separate assassins, stopped three poisoning attempts, and is rumored to have sucked the venom of a snake from Uther's ankle.

In 491, Sir Brastias told the Knights of the Sword the story of how Earl Roderick married Countess Ellen against the wishes of her elder brother, Duke Ulfius and how Silchester was most likely responsible for Dame Runa's missing cousin and the scurrilous rumors against Sir Alaric. Later that year, he dealt the fatal blow to Duke Gorlois at the Battle of Terrabil.

However in 492, Sir Brastias accused the Knights of the Sword of treason, bringing them to trial at Tintagel for the kidnapping of Queen Ygraine's newborn baby. The knights were declared innocent, but their relationship with Brastias was damaged.
