History: Bernard was born in the small village of Tera to a very poor couple. Knowing that they could not provide their son a future, they knew they had to get him an apprenticeship. When it came time for Bernardsā Outing, his parents gave their life savings so he could have a chance for an apprenticeship with Martin Lordik, the greatest Blacksmith in Carmanio. Many children wanted to be his apprentice, so he held a contest between them. Whoever could make a Creatureshoe for his Bull-pig Creature Walker, would be his apprentice. Bernard won the contest, for he seemed to have a natural talent for it and he seemed to enjoy himself. He kissed his parents goodbye and they promised they would visit soon. He has not seen them since that day.
About 2 years ago, after Bernard had finished his apprenticeship and became Martinās full fledged assistant, Martinās wife Marian died from infection to a cut she received while slicing vegetables for a stew. Marian was barren and could not have children so she and Martin had treated Bernard as their own and saw her as a mother. Martin was so grief-stricken that he turned to drinking and refused to work. Bernard could not bare to see his Master like this, and he didnāt want anyone else to see him either. The greatest Blacksmith in Carmanio couldnāt be seen as a drunken lay about. So, to protect his Masterās reputation, Bernard did all of the work and put his Maters seal on it. So Carmanio still believes Martin is producing goods, when it is in fact Bernard. No one has been able to tell the difference so far. This means he has never been recognized for his talent, but he doesnāt care. So Bernard does all of the work and makes all of the deliveries. He doesnāt mind it though, he likes keeping busy and he loves to work the forge. Any spare time he has, he spends it on practicing with all of the different swords he makes. He has been doing this for several years now and he is a near master swordsman. All in all, he enjoys his life. He just wishes he could do more for the man who raised him.

History: Bernard was trekking along the Lupinest Range, when he came across several odd goat looking creatures. Each one fo them were different, but they all had one thing in common. All of them were hopping about the rocks and head butting each other with their little buds of horns. All except one. Phirak Sāetu Torāyan was simply sitting there with heavy eyes, staring at his cousins leaping about. With his little tuff of hair on his chin and his calm demeanor, Bernard thought he looked like one of those wise sages that meditate on mountain tops all day. Bernard moved closer to the group, to get a better look. When they spotted him, they all ran away, seeing as none of them were bonding with him. Disappointed, Bernard kept going. He then turned towards the lazy one and looked at him, and he looked back. And odd snapping sensation over came him and the goat cat cocked his head. He then stretched himself out cat style and slowly made his way towards him. He was purring and rubbed himself over Bernardās legs, nearly knocking him off his feet. From then on, they were bonded.
