Obryn
“As a child, I'd heard my parents weave stories of their home, Istan. Early on, I suspected 'Bryn might be a djinn. No one in the Collective has ever seen him outside his projected form, and it's become sort of an in-joke for new recruits to speculate wildly. It IS a handsome projection, and yes, I'd asked, and no, he was flattered but uninterested. His loss.
Obryn was an enigmatic spellcaster and one of the founding members of the Mesmer Collective's first inner council. No one in the Collective had ever seen him outside his projected form, and new recruits speculated about his origins with some believing him to be a djinn in disguise.[1]
Biography[edit]
Little is known about Obryn's past. He appeared in Kryta during the charr invasion and saved Duchess Adelaide Barradin's fleeing group by killing mursaat ambushers and leading the weary group to safety in the village of Shaemoor.[2] Following the White Mantle's takeover of Kryta, Obryn, Adelaide, and mesmers named Velise, Gauvain, and Nemah became the founding members of the Mesmer Collective, a fledging network of spies and informants that would serve Kryta in the formative years of the Shining Blade and, later, their own kinsfolk in the Ascalon Settlement. The founders became the first inner council of the organization and saw the Collective eventually expanding all across Kryta. The Collective decided that the truth about King Jadon's final moments remain buried, worried that Jadon's death under the protection of Ascalonian diplomats would rouse suspicion and undermine the burgeoning trust between the Ascalonian refugees and the Krytan people.[1]
