Sir Seumas mac Brehon is a 6th Century Irishman from Ulster, serving as a trén-fher [trainar], a champion or chief fighting man, who answered challenges to single combat for the king (Ireland had lots of them at times). His main pre-1600 focus, is rattan combat (primarily with the polearm, the one true weapon style), cheesemongering, and cartography, with an emphasis on creating SCA maps, using the thinking behind the creation of period maps.
Brehon got his start in the SCA, in the Shire of Korsvag in A.S. XXX in, when he became aware of a medieval broadsword class being taught through the college's Skills Warehouse, and signed up immediately. Upon showing up at the appointed time, the teacher Tarrach informed him that he was the only attendee, gave him his money back, and told him to just attend the twice weekly practices that were free.
In his early years, being a student studying woodcraft and animal lore, Brehon had little time for anything other than building his prowess against the other warriors of Korsvag, and traveling occasionally to defend the shire and the kingdom from invaders. Northshield, having been recognized as a principality under the Middle Kingdom, shortly after he began training in martial combat, was often in need of strong warriors.
It was at one such battle, Warriors and Warlords, where Brehon's stout defense of a village from raiders earned the recognition of then-squire to Sir Tarrach Niklos. Niklos asked Brehon to serve him as a man at arms, so that he might instruct him further in combat, and Brehon gratefully accepted.
