Personality Classification[]
Brom is a kind and compassionate character, however in his earlier years he was a much more ambitious individual as he took the instructions of forging Psyphers and gave them to Odin. Not only that but he also crafted the Belderiver without concern for the wielders initially. However as they fell victim he became steeped in both grief and regret. This became strongest when Oswald was made into a Shadow Knight, unable to take it anymore he told Oswald the truth. After being sent to the Netherworld and telling Oswald the truth he had lost any personal motivation and became Odette's jewel sculptor but upon learning of Oswald's escape, escapes as well. He would then devote his life to Oswald as his servant to make up for his past and giving Oswald the Belderiver. This devotion would be strong enough that when Oswald was in crippling depression and stalked by a Halja Brom would run toward Oswald to save him heedless of his own safety.

What is known is that he used to be a resident of Valentine and even served under the King who taught him how to forge the Phozon Crystals into the weapons known as Pysphers. At some point however he would teach Odin and his Dwarves how to also forge Psyphers. This action would cause Brom to flee his home, and he would eventually find solace with the Fairies and would forge first the Tasla, and later on the cursed Belderiver.
