As of 4720 AR, Brythen Blood was the High Curator of the College of Mysteries in the city of Absalom and also represents the Petal District on the city's Low Council. He is also known as the Painted Man, as he is almost completely covered in irezoko, the tattoos given to those excelling within the College, and was once Absalom's second spell lord.

Unlike most of the most powerful men in Absalom, he is an outsider and belongs to none of the great houses or noble bloodlines. He also has no interest in the city's various political machinations, but is frequently courted by others due to his influence and power. It is said that he is aligned with Lord Avid of Diobel, but this has yet to be publicly proven.

Associates

Decades prior to his political career, Blood was an adventuring companion of Lord Gyr of Gixx, alongside Asilia of Gyr, Rosvierre Ibanc, and Lord Avid of House Arnsen. After the Mother's Message newspaper published rumors suggesting that Gyr's former companions had murdered or hidden the Primarch, Blood and his former companions became the subject of the multiple songs about the purported events. The most popular of these was "Brythen's Bucket of Blood", which describes their fictionalized attempts to murder Lord Gyr in lurid detail.

Blood employs a proxy, Erat Orzell, to engage in business on his behalf.
