Difference between revisions of "Ian Brennan"

Ian Brennan was born in Brennan Gardens, a commune that had once started out as a family farm when his family first came to the area in the late 1800s. His parents were the leaders of the commune, what had become somewhat of a happy hippie collective that tipped over into a sort of nature-worshipping, people-helping, free-loving cult over the years. His folks were killed in a boating accident off the coast, leaving him the somewhat reluctant heir to the commune and all that was in it. He has several relatives in the area, cousins, siblings, possibly aunts and uncles as well.

Ian had a great love for plants and gardening from the time that he was a child. He started out working in the commune gardens and then he went to school for Botany and graduated with his bachelor's degree. He interned for a time at a nearby Conservatory for a summer. It was there that he was taken.

He was gone barely long enough for anyone to notice that he had gone missing, but for him, the time was far longer, and when he returned, he was something different entirely from the light-hearted and quiet hopeful young man that he had been before. He became a member of the Fate's Harvest Freehold several years ago and joined The Order of the Hallowed Garden, the Brennan Gardens becoming the Garden that he tends as well as those who live there, his protected.
