Growing up on the Redcutter Bran came to idealise ships and their crews early in his life, planning always to become a carefree captain like his father, Captain Arian. However a savage storm of thunder, lightning and epic waves struck the port city of Waterdeep and almost took Arian's life and did drown Bran's youngest sibling, Tom. Seeing how Stanos, the Cleric of Vulkar aboard the Redcutter at the time acted so bravely to fend of the waters, save Arian and almost save Tom, Bran decided to devote himself to Vulkar's worship. A decision supported by his family.

Whenever the Redcutter passed Stanos along the Sword Coast over the next two years Bran would visit if possible to learn about the ways of Vulkar. Then when he turned 14 Bran traveled to the temple of Vulkar in Calisham to begin his training. Over the next six years Bran would learn and train in the teachings of Vulkar, developing as a sailor and as a cleric. First in the temple he learned to worship and to call on Vulkar's aid. Then as a Deck Novice he traveled a year with Stanos and a year with another older cleric aboard trading vessals willing to house them. Their aid and Vulkars blessing being a valuable boon to the Captain whilst they taught of their God to the crews. At 18 Bran served in the navy of Cormyr serving in the Dragonmere, learning of naval battle and what a war galleon could achieve, turning the blessings of Vulkar into healing for injured sailors and marines or fogbanks that would conceal a ships movememts.

The year he turned 20 Bran was awarded the rank of Cleric of the Sweeps and allowed to make his own way in the world. For the past few years Bran has been serving ships along the Chionthar river, his friendly and positive nature making him a popular and much sought after cleric for one so inexperienced in using Vulkar's gifts.
