Name: Brandulf

Birth Year: 405

Culture: Frisii

Field: Noble

Biography: Brandulf rose in one of the smaller tribes of the Frisii. A competent swordsman and a kind chieftain.
He was just to his people and reasonable when negotiating with his neighbors. He was a very zealous person overall
and did not approve of the new faith encroaching from the south. He believed a wanderer had given him the will of Odin
and told him to defend his children against this imminent threat.

It seemed he was quite convincing as the various tribes around him started to unite under him and soon enough the Kingdom
of Frisii were formed and Brandulf was shouted the king by the tribesmen as he was clearly in the gods favor. His first
course of action were to build a temple to honor the Three.

His debut to the roman world was when the Salians asked for his aid. He agreed and swore an oath to help Merovech onto his throne.

Realm: Kingdom of Frisia

(( I am using the Norse gods name, they are essentially the same and there is more information available on them. So just found this as a simpler way to do it. ))

Defender of the Faith​

Brandulf was at the sacred glove of Harchaim, sitting on a stone admiring a funny looking statue of bronze in the middle. The light reflecting of it made it almost glow.

The small boy of the Salians approached escorted by his guards. The chancellor walked up in front of Brandulf.

- "You summoned King Merovech, King Brandulf." Brandulf waved to the boy to come closer "Yes him and not you."

Merovech walked closer but didn't utter a word and was trying to avoid looking at Brandulf for too long.

- "Boy, do you know what I am?" Brandulf were back to inspecting the statue. "Y-Y-You are King of the Frisii and my regent."
- "Do you know what being a regent means?" Brandulf looked from the corner of his eye and saw the boy shaking his head. Brandulf smiled. "It means I am to rule in your stead until you become of age."

Brandulf invited the young king to sit next to him with a small gesture, he complied.

- "If you would have me, I would agree to become your guardian and prepare you for your crown." He looked down on the boy "Would you like that?"

The little lord nodded and grasped Brandulf's fur and leaned on him.

- "Good, and no better place to swear an oath even." He looked at the statue. "In front of you I swear this oath to protect and teach King Merovech as if he was my own brother."

(( Curious, is it more important with the internal squabble and affairs than that the fact that Brandulf sent you guys a message in the mini-update. If you guys don't respond he is going to think that Rome is keeping silence because they are preparing an attack ))
