 Burrich has the [[Wit]], but has never received any education on how to use it. Burrich doesn't have the [[Skill]]. He is mentioned to have served prince Chivalry as a [[King's man]] by giving him power for the use of his Skill, so he may have had some Skill ability. But Chivalry used his Skill to block Burrich, so that he couldn't be used against him with Skill.

He is attractive to the ladies, who would like to tame him and try to lift his dark moods. He is an impressive character: only with his look and a word he could keep a whole room full of rough men in discipline.

-Burrich's father had died before he was born. Her grand-mother was a slave, who won her freedom from the [[Butran]] clan. She got [[earring|a freedom earring]] to prove she was free. Burrich's mother supported her and Burrich by doing laundry. As a young boy Burrich formed a [[Wit-bond]] with a mongrel, [[Slash]]. The animal taught him how to survive in the streets and acted as a kind of a father figure to Burrich. A drawback in the Witbond was that Burrich didn‚Äôt have a normal childhood, as the dog had too much influence on him. When the dog was kicked by a horse and died, Burrich was only eight years old. In [[Old Blood]] communities, this relationship with the dog would have been viewed as inappropriate as they believe that a bond animal and a person must both benefit from their wit-bond equally, and they would also view him as being too young to find an appropriate animal to bond with. He then turned to his grandmother for guidance.

 When Burrich was about thirteen years old, his mother and grandmother died in an epidemic of a [[Blood plague]]. Now alone, he became a mercenary. He was taken prisoner in a Chalced skirmish and made a slave. Finally he was able to escape and sought refuge in the [[Six Duchies]]. There he became a horsekeeper for [[Grizzle]], Duke of [[Shoaks]]. He Wit-bonded again, this time with a young stallion, [[Neko]]. This bond ended with the animal dying, too. When Burrich was forced to live through the great pain of losing a second bondmate, he decided never to use his Wit again.

-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‚Äôt 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, ‚Äúthe Old Burrich‚Äù, 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.

-Molly and Burrich become friends and as they both presume that Fitz is dead, there is nothing preventing them to fall in love. They both have had a love affair in their youth that has ended badly. Together they find happiness. Burrich accepts Fitz‚Äôs child as his and is even ready to take a false oath for reputation and safety of Molly and the child. This proves his total commitment to this new relationship. Under normal circumstances Burrich, who values honesty and trust, would never do such a thing. Because Fitz is beyond his help, he does everything he can to protect his daughter, [[Nettle]].
