Personal history

Orphaned at a young age Barrin had the advantage of the inate telepathy and telekenesis to help him survive in a hard world. Eventually he drew the attention of some local bookies that got him making at least a living wage. He would help out in the kitchens on recovery days or ones with no fights.   After years of this and a few high profile wins he became pretty well known and began traveling the sword coast fighting in bouts and even taking home a couple of titles. Eventually it started to wear on him but it was good money and got him out and about.   On one trip between neverwinter and waterdeep the he signed on to travel the distance that was being targeted in a larger political scheme the windblown had been hired to stop. Barrin put up a fight but ended up looking death in the face only to be saved by Aay. He was deeply shaken by this, but impresed Aay with his fighting skills so he was offered a spot at the peak.   After a few missions he decided he would rather have a little more low key work so he came on as the permenant chef for the peak, along with a half dozen magical assistants. He's been working in the kitchens and part time as an instructor with Tazbor in the arena for the last two years.

History

These two immediately hit it off. Gimble had been feeling kind of lost after everything that happened with Melren and while he went back to taking care of the keep as usual once the windblown moved in most of them were actively going on missions or working on the prep for them. Barrin was the first support staff member they brought on that wasn't related to fighting and they really bonded over the years working to prepare food and move supplies throughout the peak.

History

Soon after Barrin arrived he was looking for a gym or sparring partner and found Tazbor who was always eager to train new recruits. Despite being wildly outclassed Barrin put up a great fight and when he eventually got knocked on his ass he got up again and Tazbor knew he had another teacher. The two spar regularly with Barrin appreciating the wide array of weapons he's learning to deal with. Tazbor in turn, uses Barrin to work through exercises on unpredictable fighting styles with other students. The pair get along great and work together most days

History

Gimblekanks was pretty abrasive to start but he had been through a lot and barrin was used to working with pretty rough people. After it became clear Barrin was unrelentingly wholesome and genuinely there to reduce the workload for gimble the relationship changed and they began to bond quickly. Now they're constantly gossiping and shooting the shit while they're working.
