Description

Broden "Brody" MacTavish was born into a family of homing pigeon breeders in the misty highlands of Scotland. From an early age, he was surrounded by the flutter of wings and the soft coos of birds carrying messages across the land. His father, a stern yet wise man, taught him the delicate art of handling pigeons—how to train them, care for them, and understand the silent language of flight. His mother, on the other hand, had a poet’s soul and would often recite old Gaelic verses as she worked, unknowingly planting in Brody a love for words and their power. As he grew older, Brody felt the weight of expectation pressing upon him. His family wanted him to inherit the trade, to stay in their small village and continue the legacy of pigeon couriers. But Brody was different. He was restless, drawn to the vastness of the world beyond the hills. He admired the birds not just for their loyalty but for their freedom—the way they soared across the sky without chains, bound only by duty but never by place. That was the life he wanted: a messenger, not confined to the loft, but running the paths himself. At eighteen, he made his choice. With only a dagger for protection, a weathered satchel for letters, and a coin pouch filled just enough to last him a month, he left his home and set off on foot, offering his services as a courier. At first, it was small work—delivering letters between farmers, carrying love notes for shy lads who couldn’t find the courage to speak. But as he proved himself fast, reliable, and discreet, his reputation grew. Soon, clan chiefs, poets, and even wandering bards sought him out, trusting him with messages that could forge alliances, declare feuds, or whisper secrets between nobles. Brody quickly learned that words held as much danger as they did power. More than once, he found himself pursued by bandits, mercenaries, or spies who wanted the messages he carried. Though he preferred to avoid conflict, he was no fool—his dagger, coupled with his agility and quick thinking, ensured that he never fell easy prey. He became a ghost on the roads, moving unseen through forests, slipping past enemy patrols, and reaching his destinations before his pursuers could catch up. Despite the dangers, he thrives on the life he has chosen. He takes pride in his independence, the knowledge that he answers to no one but himself. While he has no true home, he is welcomed in many places, a familiar face in taverns, castles, and bardic halls alike. He is not just a courier—he is a link between people, a silent witness to history as it unfolds. And with every message he delivers, he weaves himself further into the grand tapestry of Scotland’s ever-changing fate.
