Michael of Dunwyn

Michael of Dunwyn treads the path of the social chameleon, seamlessly adapting to the hues of every encounter. Clad in eclectic attire that mirrors the diversity of his tales, he claims the mantle of a minstrel, a traveling musician adept at weaving melodies on the lute. His very essence is a conundrum, and his background remains a fluid narrative, shifting like the notes of a musical composition.
In one breath, he may recount tales of royal courts and regal performances, adopting the refined accent and gestures befitting such esteemed environments. Yet, when conversing with those of humbler origins, his demeanor transforms, and his speech adopts the colloquial cadence of a commoner.
Michael's encounters with the law led him to claim a peculiar infamy—he proudly admits to pilfering corn meant to alleviate famine's grip on Aeritain. Found guilty and branded a Thief, his punishment came swift and harsh: banishment from the realm. His transgressions are worn as badges of rebellion, badges he showcases with a blend of defiance and charm.
The authenticity of Michael's stories remains a mystery, his every word a dance between fact and fiction. Is he truly a minstrel who serenaded kings, or a rogue who danced on the edge of law and order? Are his wife Mary and daughter real, or merely another tail spun by a master manipulator?
After his exile Michael escaped his indentured servitude and began singing at inns and taverns across the city of Brindol for coin. His songs, "The Fields of Athenry" and "Nuckelavee" could be heard at establishments such as The Half Pint.

"Music? It's the rhythm of life, the melody of the soul. And I? Well, I'm just the conductor."
