Bran ap Brychan

Rhi Bran ap Brychan was the rightful king of the cantref of Elfael in Cymru in the late 11 century.

Description
Bran was an exceptionally handsome man, with dark eyes, black hair, and a high forehead. His smile was often a bit lopsided, making him appear almost shy. He had long limbs and was thin. He preferred to dress in dark clothes.

Personality
Before the fall of Elfael to the Normans, Bran was fickle, flirtatious, and full of himself.

Relationships
Initially, Bran saw Mérian, the daughter of Lord Cadwgan of Eiwas, as but another conquest. After his near death and transformation into the hero of King Raven, his relationship with Mérian did eventually develop into true love.

History
As a boy, Bran had been taught to shoot a longbow by Iwan, who was older.

Bran was not present at the death of his father, for he had been late for the departure of the king's warband for Lundein, having tarried too long in Mérian's chamber in secret before riding back to Caer Cadarn to join the group. They had left without him.
