Veteran of the Army of the Glorioles and uncle to Bob and Rob who were farmhand sons of his younger brother, Bill. The Hard Winter of 586 ruined the Rivers family farm crop and Bill fell ill and died. Scully mustered out of the army and tried to keep the farm going but there was no money or work to be had. Rather than starve, he and the boys joined up with the Redbrand Ruffians in Karrigan just before the Jade Menagerie cleared them out.
