Verbrannt arrived at Templehelm when he was twelve. One of the first people Verbrannt met in Templehelm was Ringwe. Upon meeting her, Ringwe saw that Verbrannt was alone, and claimed him as her little brother. Ringwe had reminded Verbrannt of his older sister Isis, who had died of a poisonous snakebite when they were younger. Because of this, Verbrannt quickly grew attached to Ringwe. Weeks later, Ringwe was drowned by a rot dealer named Ekgnujya, which impacted Verbrannt greatly. His thoughts were constantly clouded with the thought of getting revenge on Eknugjya, and avenging his sisters death. Because of this, anyone who attempts to harm an innocent person is seen as irredeemable in his eyes, deserving only death.

After Ringwe's death, Verbrannt secluded himself to a small peninsula to the west of Ironshard. There, he spread the decay and raised a village that would later be the home of the Afflicted, known as Pestilence Vilage. It took his mind off of his sister's death and eventually led to him meeting new people. After the second Deikotas, he temporarily kept home at Syzar Isle with the rest of the Afflicted. After awhile though, he grew lonely and bored of the empty isle. After a lot of consideration, he decided that the best place for him would be Blood Valley, inhabited by the people of Undying Blood. There, he lived a somewhat dangerous yet enjoyable life among the people there, being able to talk with others and make friends for the first time in awhile.

Soon, however, Mycelyix's champion Sven was killed, which crushed Verbrannt. He didn't care for Sven himself, but he knew that he was their only real power, and now that he had fallen, his Lord was weaker than ever. After this, attempts to make contact with Mycelyix were fruitless, and this crushed Verbrannt. After the repeated attacks on the Valley and it's people, the city eventually fell, leaving Verbrannt without a safe place to stay. Most of it's inhabitants seemingly disappeared, and Verbrannt decided to rest at the Isle for a period of time, to gather his thoughts on what to do next. After an incredibly surreal dream (http://www.crimsoningot.net/forum/m/5566854/viewthread/20768759-nightmarish-realization/post/last#last), his urge to gain revenge on Ringwe's killer dropped significantly.

With that burden lifted from him, he decided to return to Blood Valley to see how it fared in his absence. When he returned, he found it looted to hell, but still mostly intact. When he returned to the Mycelyite shrine of the Valley, he was surprised by a visit from Mycelyix himself. As of now, he remains alone at Blood Valley as a shrine keeper.
