→Chivalry's man
Burrich was brought to Chivalry for judgement after he had brawled with his comrades. Burrich and Chivalry got along well, as they were about the same age. He swore an oath to serve Chivalry, and this bond was so deep that not even love for [[Patience]] could become between Burrich and his master. As a token of this loyalty Burrich gave his grandmother's earring to Chivalry, this perhaps being symbolical for him giving away his freedom and becoming totally Chivalry's man. Chivalry was the measure of a man for him that he didn’t have in his childhood.
Chivalry's abdication leaves Burrich without someone organising his world. Added to this, he is recovering from a severe injury when forced to recognise that the master he had lifted to a pedestal is not wholly without error. Nevertheless he does his best to meet the final order Chivalry gave him, to take care of the bastard, Fitz. Disappointment and the leg injury added together change Burrich. He becomes gloomier, more ill-tempered and withdrawn, “the Old Burrich”, as he is called, even if he still is only in his thirties. However, he still has a great sense of honour to the Farseers.
After Chivalry abdicated, Burrich became the Stablemaster at [[Buckkeep]] and was left to bring up his old masters illegitimate child, Fitz. As a stablemaster Burrich’s duties are to look after Buckkeep’s horses, dogs and hawks, and he does this with care and skill.
