Details

He was the son of a sorceress and an unnamed warrior, but when he was born, his mother left him with a monastery. He was well cared for and raised as a monk. When he was old enough, he was to take the monks' vows to become one of the brothers. As the monks prayed to the Sun God to bless him, he was bathed in a shaft of light, and a vision of the Sun God appeared before the monks and announced that Bryton had been chosen to be his paladin.

The monks gave him over to the Crusader Order to be trained as a brother-militant. But the Crusaders didn't believe the monks' story, and put Bryton through many trials, intending to prove them wrong, the last of which involved him being blindfolded and tied up in a forest, at which he was required to return to the chapterhouse by morning or fail. He escaped—though he would never speak of how—and arrived at the chapterhouse just in time to rescue them from slaughtering raiders.

Soon after, he informed the brothers that he had been commanded by the Sun God to go on errant, and left the chapter to wander, killing monsters of all sorts, and doing good to the poor and helpless.

Notes

• Ref: Metro Man-Megamind
• Champion of the Realm; easily the "most likeable man in the land"
• Paladin of the Sun God
• Women throw themselves at him, and he rejects them all so pleasantly they go away feeling like he did them a favor
• Essentially "homeless"—sleeps at churches wherever he ends up
• Constantly giving "Dear Abbey" type advice; random people just open up to him all the time
• People who haven't met him tend to think he's probably a huge douche IRL
• Sorta social-opposite of Geralt of Rivia/Witcher
• Raised to knighthood; lowborn
• Pantheonist
