Biography/Background: Burwod was a high ranked officer in his father's order "The Sworn Brotherhood".

When his father went missing he took the leadership of the order until its last day. Most of the order's men perished in a battle in the ruins of Fornost, being him the only survivor; both his parents died there. Burwod went missing for around a moth after this, as he was held captive by a group of Dourhands. He managed to escape, after finding his trusted horse, weak and almost unconscious he made his way to Bree, where Hellrien found him and helped him recover. After finding out that the order disbanded he focused on making a name of his own, trying to do heroic deeds which never never got him any renown. Burwod started plundering around the Barrow-Downs to make a living from.
