Our Dearest Friends,

I, Count Mattias Schantz, have been remiss in having not informed all of sad news from the The Brotherhood of Steel. I beg your forgiveness in this matter.

Last fall Sir Brenis Thorson, First Marshal and First Knight of The Brotherhood of Steel, passed from this mortal world to the Halls of Vahalla following a heroic battle with cancer. Sir Brenis was a friend and comrade to all and will be greatly missed. Sir Brenis was the First Marshal of the Brotherhood, his Honor and Valor both on and off the field of combat was beyond reproach.

This year The Brotherhood of Steel will be honoring Sir Brenis Thorson at each of our events and we invite all to join us in this ceremony. May his spirt live within all of the Brotherhood.

I take this time to say farewell to a true friend, Brother Brenis. Thanks you my brother for all that you have taught me. Thank you for your friendship. Thank you for your stern words, as they have guided me to be a better man. Most of all, Thank You, my dear friend, for the memories as they will be something I cherish and cary with me all the days of my life.

In Honor,

Count Mattias Schantz, Paladin of The Brotherhood of Steel
