"The Bound Man is the spectral form of Baston Aufford was a knight who came from the South, filled with pride and holy conviction he set out to smite the dark creatures of the Deep Wood. Baston died there. There are many tales of his end, many overblown and inaccurate. His body was moved to the Bryn woods and a funeral barrow built with a colossal statue in his honour to serve as a lasting symbol of his desire to purge evil from the Bryn. His servants and retainers were also buried in the barrow. One day a woman arrived at the Barrow and had a team of slaves open the sepulchre, slipping inside she made her way to the burial chamber. She was Fria Aufford, who had married Baston before he journeyed north, and who had been left behind waiting for his return for years. It was not until she arrived at Bryntyrion that she heard of Baston's death, casting herself onto his Sarcophagus in grief she cursed him saying "Let his heart not stop until he has suffered for as long as I." She then drove a dagger into her heart, being a place of inherent magical potency, coupled with her blood sacrifice bound Baston's spirit to the tomb where he suffers still for Fria suffered much more pain than the ten years she was abandoned would suggest."
