However, children are not nice by nature and often instead referred to him as "Berndt" as a way to tease him for the fact it sounded like "Burnt" or "Burned" and the name stayed and became permanent, and even a nickname that didn't leave him.

BACKSTORY:
Berndt was born the oldest son of his mother, Ilse and his father, Willhelm. He had two brothers, the oldest being Angelo and the youngest brother was Hanns. He spent the majority of his days learning to care for wheat and harvest it with his family, as it was the trade his family practiced. His favorite memories of his day was hearing the stories of other villagers and the long tales of Kings of Lavoyard and later, Anhald. These long tails grew to be his favorite; Tales such of Charles the Bold, claiming him to be the size of a full grown grizzly, dawning a set of pale black armour, with the skulls of his enemies mounted upon his throne room pillars. Others told tales of King Peter, a veteran knight who had slain hundreds of men in the service of his realm, driving fear into the hearts of the enemies and honour into the the lands of Anhald.Berndt like many boys of his village dreamed of this, yet his family had no name and no way to serve his king, aside from the sowing of fields. This changed during the Lavoyard rebellion when Willhelm was first called to service. His father later returned with stories of knights and soldiers, and the slaughter of men upon an unsuccessful ride. His father settled down upon the fields once more for many years upon the rein of King Peter, serving, and dying upon the fields as nothing more than a faceless levy. Berndt decided to follow his footsteps and started his journey...
