Prior to moving into the home of the Lady with the Dog, Bynie lived with his grandparents. His parents owned a farm and after they passed away, his grandparents took it over so Brynie and his little brother Orrie could remain there.  Brynie really enjoyed  taking care of the animals.  Fin did his best to keep in touch with his younger brothers. Once he and Karanthir had settled into the human realm, he invited Brynie to join them.
When Brynie first came to live in the home of the Lady with Dog,  he was shocked to learn that Karanthir had become half vampire. Brynie always believed vampires were evil. It took a long time for him to realize that his brother’s transformation hadn't changed him, much. A little while later, Orrie  joined them all.
