Brzan, a notorious figure in the pre-medieval, early European barbaric culture, is a petty thief and a rascal who embodies the essence of an outlaw. At around thirty years of age, Brzan's life is marked by chaos and violence, driven by the primal urge to survive in a world where might often makes right. His appearance is as unsettling as his actions; a scared face, etched with the lines of a hard life, contrasts sharply with the lunatic smile that often plays across his lips when he's about to commit a misdeed. His attire is simple and ragged, fitting for a man who lives off the land and the misfortunes of others, typically donning a tattered tunic and breeches, with a cloak that has seen better days draped over his shoulders. Brzan's weapon of choice is as rudimentary as his lifestyle, usually a simple club or a stolen dagger, reflecting his lack of means but not of cunning.

In this harsh world, Brzan's primary goal is survival, a pursuit that leads him to steal from peasants and farmers. These acts are not just about acquiring goods but are often accompanied by damage and harm, showcasing his violent nature. His weak character makes him easily corrupted, willing to shift alliances as it suits his immediate needs. Brzan's intelligence lies in his ability to navigate this treacherous landscape, using his knowledge of the land and people to elude capture and continue his thievery.

The conflicts in Brzan's life are manifold. He is constantly at odds with the very society he leeches off, facing the wrath of those he steals from and the law that seeks to bring him to justice. Internally, Brzan battles with his own fears and the madness that his lifestyle breeds, a madness that is both his shield and his downfall. His actions, driven by a desperate need to survive, often work because of his intimate understanding of human nature and the barbaric society he inhabits. Yet, this path is unsustainable, leading him into a cycle of violence and betrayal that ultimately seals his fate as a figure doomed to be remembered as a villain in the annals of his world.

Brzan's unique trait is his habit of whistling a haunting tune before he strikes, a sound that has become a harbinger of his chaotic presence in the villages he haunts.
