Coat of Arms:
Two generations prior the Idmiston family produced three sons, the youngest of these was Iorwerth. Upon becoming a knight, and the birth of his eldest brother's heir, Iorwerth was granted his own personal variation of the Idmiston coat of arms, this variation has been used by all of his descendants who became knights as well, including Bradwyn.
The outer border was expanded to reach the edge of the shield, the image of the tree was reversed, and the colors were slightly altered to create this new coat of arms.
The first thing to stand out about this young man is just how tall he stands. Leveling out at an abnormal six feet in height with neatly trimmed dark hair, and strikingly blue eyes. A clean-shaven, chiseled face with a dimpled chin. He might even be considered quite handsome if not for a ragged scar crossing his face, and a couple other blemishing scars across his brow and cheek. Athletic but not bulky, he looks like he could take a hit from a wall and keep fighting. This young man has clearly seen battle, whether simulated or true, though doesn't carry himself in the typical way of a Christian knight. His attire is typical of a knight, whether in armor or not, and is suitable for one born to nobility.
Distinct Features: Strikingly blue eyes, abnormally tall height, ragged facial scars.
Born to Folant de Idmiston and his wife Esyllt in the year 493. Folant is the first cousin of Gwynedd Idmiston, it is from his father that Bradwyn inherited the striking blue eyes the Idmiston family is known for. Bradwyn's mother however was from a tall family and was even tall herself, though still shorter than her husband. The fourth born, Bradwyn is actually the tallest of his siblings, though only just in some cases.
One of his older siblings though stands at only average height, taking more after the Idmiston family, who has been nicknamed 'the runt' by the other siblings, including Bradwyn. The siblings are nevertheless close and have each other's backs when it matters.
Bradwyn did have contact with his more distant cousins as well. As kids any time they'd visit Gwynaelle loved to ride on Bradwyn's back or shoulders. While he was a year younger, once he grew tall enough to support her weight the two had fun. Gwynaelle of course wouldn't keep up the practice when she was around ten, as she had to start behaving more like a proper lady and take matters more seriously, even more so after the deaths of her brothers.
Tomas and Bradwyn also tended to get in trouble, like boys tend to do, at least till each went off to learn to be knights. Since Tomas' own losses and becoming more of a recluse among his family, it was typically Bradwyn that would bring Tomas out of his shell a bit, normally against Tomas' will. Though the efforts to get his cousin out for a drink or to chase women wasn't always successful, still Bradwyn continues to try to help his cousin return to the world and socializing.
Bradwyn generally had a regular upbringing for a pagan noble. When he turned ten, helped by his abnormal height and size, Bradwyn would travel to the manor of House Tisbury where he would serve as a paige, then at age fourteen would advance to a squire. It was during this time he got to know the Tisbury family a bit. While an atypical choice of house to host the young man, it was done in an attempt to strengthen bonds between pagan families, and hopefully expanding influence.
It was also during this time that the young man took a few of the household servants and commoners as lovers. To his credit Bradwyn never forced himself on anyone, but he did develop a skill for charming women into his bed. A skill he has only got better at, though also more discrete as well.
As he caused no true harm with the Tisbury family and kept up with his studies, he would be knighted at the age of 21. While living with the Tisbury family, Bradwyn came to see them for the most part as a kind of second family, due to how close the family is and how they welcomed Bradwyn with much the same warmth.
