Early Years in Yew & Skara Brae
Brage's early years involved farm work in Yew, he grew up with his parents and his little sister Rachel. With a low income and being harrased by local Brigands, Brage and his sister were forced to flee Yew after their parents death. Looking for work in close by towns, Brage and Rachel lived in Skara Brae for a while. Brage took a job on a boat, there he found out that the Moonglow Guard was looking for fresh recruits. He placed his sister with some friends in Skara Brae and took the job as a guard in Moonglow, sending money to them every week. Later on Rachel joined him in Moonglow as a barmaid for the Beergarden.

Service in the Moonglow Guard
Brage's service in the Moonglow Guard (CGM) was short lived, he had the position of private for a while then he decided to work in politics. I wasn't until after his political carrer that Brage took on a more serious position in the Moonglow Guard as Sergeant, however due to the lack of funding the Moonglow Guard had little or no money left to recruit any more guards. During his first years of service he served under Captain Rebecca, later on he was given the honour of serving under one of his closest friends Captain Robin Hood. Brage was also given the opportunity to command the Moonglow Guard as he worked for the Moonglow Council as Constable, working closely with Captain Robin Hood. During the invasion of Naeloth, Brage fled Moonglow for Vesper and left his old life behind him.
Influence in Moonglow Politics
His political carrer started when he decided to run for Moonglow Constable, in the early years he worked on the Zesstra case. A murder victim found in Moonglow Felucca with a somewhat mysterious background, the case was never solved but it opened up new opportunities for Brage to be taken seriously in the Council. He stepped down as Constable when he was elected Justiciar of Moonglow, writing new laws for Moonglow he was very successful in aiding the Moonglow Council. He was also given a chance to act as a prosecutor for Moonglow when a renegade mage had attacked several Trinsic and Moonglow guards, the case was handed over to Mayor Yoldran when Brage couldn't arrive in time for the court. Brage's carrer ended when he started drinking heavily and not doing his duties, he stepped down and was given a position as Sergeant in the Moonglow Guard.
The Umbra Incident
Always clumsy, Brage ended up being caught by Umbrans after an embarrassing incident with Feluccan Savages. It was however no laughing matter when Brage was used as a tool by Umbra to harm Moonglow, he was marked as a spy and tortured for several days. His late cousin Samuel was singled out by Umbra and executed. This lead Umbra to use Brage to kill the Moonglow Mayor, he was saved by Luna Paladins working closely with Moonglow but this was what started the war with the Dark Alliance. It is still unsure what caused Umbras actions against Moonglow. Moonglow suffered greatly from the war when Nujel'm, Naeloth and Umbra attacked their town frequently. Later on Moonglow was invaded by Naeloth, Brage fled as he was considered a criminal by the new Moonglow government. Posing as a barkeep at a bar in Ilshenar, he was eventually discovered by Naeloth agents. Brage met up with his half brother Marcus Holmes, since Moonglow had little to offer him. Marcus suggested he could hide in Vesper for the time being. Sadly during this time his and Marcus' little sister was lost when Naeloth left Moonglow. Marcus blamed Brage for being a coward and not taking Rachel with him when he fled the isle. Brage moved to Vesper under the name Brage Holmes, blaming himself for being a coward and destroying his home, he nowadays spends his time drinking his sorrows away
Vesper & the Vesper Trading Company
Little can be said about his time in Vesper, he worked as a guard for the Vesper Militia but later on resigned for freelance work with the Vesper Trading Company as a sailor. He had a fling with a young Elf for a while but they broke up when Brage said he wouldn't stop drinking for her.
