Broyo Fireborn Silverhand

Broyo Fireborn Silverhand is a citizen of The Second High Kingdom of Daelyria who has gone through many jobs and seen many Helmian nations rise and fall throughout his life. From a petty theif during his childhood years in the Kastollian mountain city of Meteora to the Archon of Cliffton, his life has certainly been a series of unexpected events. He is patriarch of House Silverhand and its Fireborn cadet-branch

Appearance and Personality
Broyo stands at around 180 CM, somewhat shorter than the average Daelyrian male, he has darker skin and black hair. Broyo is usually seen wearing his black frock coat with a white shirt inside along with dark red trousers as well as his iconic red hat. Sometimes he may be seen with an armband of the Klerkenshoop flag during speeches or important events.

Before the Klerkenshoop plague he was described by old friends as a cheerful, outgoing person who was always fond of the company of others. Although he was also somewhat stubborn and certainly very arrogant during this time. But after the Klerkenshoop plague, Broyo was reduced to a quiet and withdrawn man. Sometimes he is completely incoherent in between conversations as desribed by his nephew, Hera Iceborn Siverhand and his friend Alpha Kaerfels; whom Broyo has accused for subverting Cliffton through the use of "magical trees and awful moonshine". Although when with his close friends and family he is described as being a collection of sarcasm and awful puns. He is especially sarcastic towards his nephew, Hera, whom he ridicules on multiple occasions for being obessed with nature.

Early Life
Broyo was born to Dixon Silverhand and Allryria Kaerfels as Miksa Silverhand's younger brother, although he would never get to know his parents or his brother until much later as his parents would die when he was young and he was soon separated from his older brother. Broyo would live most of his childhood in a cramped room dug into the mountains of Meteora in the former Kingdom of Kastollia. This would affect a young Broyo greatly, without any parents to teach him the good and the bad, he would turn towards thievery as a means to eke out a living. He mostly stole food and some coins from time to time until he was eventually caught by a man named Hemanoid who offered Broyo a job to make white concrete for a project he was working on. Broyo would accept this job as he desired a honest job, something he never had, this job would begin his long journey towards an honest and thriving life.

Teenage Years in Meteora
Broyo would begin to show his high work ethic during his weeks working in the concrete job, producing barrels of white concrete in a few days. Hemanoid was surprised by the young man's eagerness and efficience towards work, paying him a bonus amount of money for the quick completion of his tasks. This was the first real and clean amount of money he had ever recieved in his life; however, the young man was a financially irresponsible person, he would spend nearly all of his money on alcohol in a town called Orientem. Meanwhile, Hemanoid had recommended him to King Jayhawk of Kais-Adonia, the king would take an interest in the boy and would set out to meet him personally. The pair would find Broyo, a drunken mess, in the alleyways of Orientem. The king simply handed him the deed to a plot of land in the harbor town of Azuirs and left without saying a word. Hemanoid would berate Broyo for his behavoir which served as a wake up call for the young man and planted the first seeds of maturity in him.

Life in Azuirs and Final Years in Kastollia
After settling into Azuirs, the young man got to work building a home, his first ever proper home. He would continue to work with Hemanoid for a couple more years until he had made enough money to stand on his own. He would bid Hemanoid goodbye and comfortably live an idle farmer-gardener's life in Azuirs, building a park (with the help of SchtinkyPete), a workshop and improving the town's harbor. Eventually, he would grow tired of this idle life and set out to find anything that would give him the same rush he felt working for Hemanoid.

Meeting Miksa Iceborn Silverhand, Building Klerkenshoop and Trauma
He would begin espousing his desires to build a town to call his own, his would go to bars and would drunkenly rant on and on about not having a town to call his own. Eventually Miksa Iceborn Silverhand, who had regain his royal status at this point, would catch wind of this and approach Broyo with a proposition to repair the ruins of an old town called "Painfield" in the then-Mithran Archonate of Magna Ataraxia. Broyo would eagerly accept this proposal and set off towards the cold north to build his town with a group of settlers he recruited from towns across Kastollia. Broyo and his band of settlers would struggle with pushing out the squatters occupying the ruins, in fact it took him a whole month to do so. Once the squatters were out of the way, Broyo would officially found the town of Klerkenshoop, named after his recently deceased friend Klerk. The group would spend the first few months removing shacks, repairing the walls, patching up the landscape, building streets and houses. Klerkenshoop would grow in size, being classified as a town by the Helmian Federation, but a plague would hit the town killing 70% of the population. Those killed during the plague were many of Broyo's close friends which caused him to break down and have a major personality shift, causing him to become more withdrawn from people, affairs outside and his cheerful spirit was shattered.

Involvement in the Third Halondian Rebellion
Broyo had never involved himself in the matters of politics at all, not even once in his life. Even when the Kingdom of Mithra was reorganized into the Helmian Federation he simply stood idly by without giving it much thought. But with the Third Halondian Rebellion, it was different, this time his friends Miksa, SchtinkyPete and even his homeland of Kastollia was fighting in it. He would eventually cave to his soft spot for Kastollia and supported the rebellion in secret. Although his role was "embarrasingly small and insignificant" as he would personally describe it; all he did was provide the rebellion with some information prior to the Battle of Illerya. But in the end the rebellion would succeed, opening another chapter in Helmia's history and Broyo's life.

Rediscovering family lineage and time as Archon of Cliffton
The new government of Helmia, now know as the Dominate of Helmia (later 2nd High Kindgom of Daelyria) decided that Broyo's commitment to Helmia and his actions during the rebellion had deemed him fit for the office of Archon for the Archonate of Cliffton. Miksa Iceborn Silverhand, Undye and Loreth Gilroch was also the major driving force in pushing for Broyo's ascension to the position, which caused Broyo to reluctantly accept the position which he deemed himself unworthy of. After becoming Archon, Broyo would interact with Miksa much more often which eventually confirmed Miksa's suspicion that Broyo was indeed his long lost brother and after revealing this information to Broyo, the two would reunite and Broyo would officially rejoin the Silverhand family as Miksa's younger brother.

Fast forward to today, Broyo had become part of the Silverhand family and had resigned from the position of Archon of Cliffton in favor for his now-brother Miksa Iceborn Silverhand. He would continue to work on his beloved town of Klerkenshoop but even here he had taken a much more reserved role in favor of a younger and more eager man; Nitro Domussanad who he had named the vice mayor of Klerkenshoop. Broyo now lives out a peaceful, quiet and mostly unassuming life in his town; farming by day and writing newspapers by night, a life he finally had come to terms with ever since his idle days in Azuirs.
