Oswald von Brand

Oswald von Brand

Third son of the Baron Gottfried "Golo" von Brand, Oswald followed the life of a soldier for six years after coming of age. As an accomplished swordfighter and leader of men, Oswald's career sparkled--until the Army of the South swept through the von Brands' holdings, as they did through so many other nations. Despite his unit's utter destruction, Oswald survived the Battle of Brokenshore and the subsequent sacking of Castle Eisenamboss. Now that the Great Southern Army is in retreat, Oswald wanders aimlessly, searching for word of his sister.
