Beren (crusades)

Beren is a wanderer, not much is known to his history. All Beren knows about his ancestry is that it started in a small province in Greece. He heard tales of a nameless king who fought countless hordes to protect his queen and people.

As is custom from his homeland, he was taken from his mother at the young age of 7 years old and began his training. At 16, he was cast out into the wild to survive. His final test. The competition was fierce among the other contestants. Beren had to fight, kill and steal, not just animals to pass the test. He was in the wild many months before returning home victorious.

His ancestors left their homeland after it was seized by the invading army, and Beren's family traveled westward. Beren attempted to settle down, only to have peace ripped from his grasp. Without peace, a great restlessness stirred within Beren and he wandered the wilds again. Beren heard rumors of a holy land, so he set on a pilgrimage. He awoke one morning, something seemed off... A whistle came on the wind and an arrow hit the tree next to him. The crusade and Muslims collided all around him. Soldiers on both sides attempted to kill him, but he was a more efficient fighter. The Muslims retreated and he was now surrounded by crusaders. He fought until he fell to his knees. The leader of the battalion took him as a prisoner. Beren convinced the leader to let him fight, as an attempt to get himself out of the prison so he could leave a fight he never wanted to be in.
