Bressel of Ischia

Bressel of Ischia is a scholar native to Galtis, in Ischia. At the age of thirty, he was captured by Taklaman raiders while traveling, and taken as a trophy prisoner back to the Plateau. Treated as an honored guest, Bressel took the time to transcribe large portions of Taklaman legend and worldly knowledge in two scholarly works, An Elemnakos Bestiary, Both Mundane and Supernatural, and Children of Stone - Histories of the Taklama, neither of which gained much acclaim in the academies of the lowlands.

Early Life
Within the foreword of the Bestiary, Bressel states himself to have born in the Red District of Galtis, Ischia.

Travel to the Plateau
When traveling to an academy in the northern Riverlands to give a lecture upon pre-Sultanate mythos among the Naihyo Majarina, he was captured by a roving band of Taklaman raiders. As the clear leader of the caravan, he was taken back to the city of Tesarmasen as a ward of its warleader, Dathel Morn. Here, he began to learn about Taklaman culture, and indeed found what he thought his life's calling in bringing this little-known information to light.
