Boris Reedy

Boris "Boris The Black" Reedy: Boris is the elder brother of Lord John.

"The Black"
He is called Boris the Black for refusing his birthright as heir to The Dun due to not wanting to rule and wanting more freedom for himself. Due to his refusal of his titles, Lord Onnor, Boris' father broke off the marriage between Boris and Lady Maerina Field. Lord Onnor then stripped Boris of all his titles and to add injury to insult, he then wed his promised bride to Boris' younger brother John. Boris never forgave his father for this, nor John for that matter. He does however have a good relationship with his nephew Colton however.

History
Following the loss of all his titles and birthrights, Boris tried to become a soldier in The Dun's army, but his father would have none of it. Boris, slighted yet again then decided to join a company of mercenaries known as The Rag-Tag Lot. The Rag-Tag lot experienced a lot of success with Boris, who eventually rose through their ranks and became their leader. During the War Of Wine, Lord John reconciled Boris for aid in fighting the invading forces of Drachurst. Following the end of The War Of Wine, Lord John granted his brother the small wooden fort of Tallowscalp.

The Long Autumn
Boris is amongst those who sits in on The Dun Council at Greytorn. Although he is a voice on the council, he constantly clashes with the majority who support his younger brother Lord John. Lord John only lets Boris on the council due to his skill as a soldier and a commander, which he sorely needs.
