Corin Delacroix was not so different from many peasants in Bretonnia. In the summer he toiled the fields outside of Parravon for his liege-lord and paid his taxes in proper order, and in the winter he tended to repairs, roofing and the like. When he was a young man a neighbouring duchy had a quarrel with the lord of Parravon, and into a brief war Corin was thrust - a bow in his hands and a pot helm on his head. For 6 years the young Corin trudged from muddy field to muddy field with thousands of other peasants, led into battle by brave and valiant knights atop their mighty barded steeds. He was starved and soaked - beaten and bloodied. At times around the campfires Corin would overhear the muttering of disgruntled common-folk, sullying the name of their lords and cursing the gods for their lot in life. Such talk was an affront to Corin's sensibilities, for the gods and the gods alone decided upon a man's fate long since before he was a but a twinkle in his father's eye - the common folk served and the lordly folk ruled. Such was life in fair Bretonnia.
After Parravon claimed victory Corin was released to his usual life, hoping to put such violence far behind him. Alas, the village in which he grew up was burned to a cinder, and his parents and friends slain or worse. From town to town Corin did travel, searching for work and lodgings, but alas being the lone survivor of his village left an ugly mark upon his social status, causing most to avoid one so clearly cursed. With little else to lose, Corin took to the highways and forests, robbing and poaching in order to survive. It was an ignoble time in the life of Corin of the crossroads, and for two decades his wanted poster hung in the halls of Parravon, a princely sum for his capture. At times he would cross paths with other vagrants and outcasts, some of whom had fought side by side with Corin in the battles of yesteryear. The murmurings had grown in scale and in action - whispers of the brotherhood echoed about the forests and campsites known to those outside civil society. Time and time again Corin was offered comfort and security with the Brotherhood, but the guarded and wily peasant remained at arms length to those men. Criminal he may be, Corin maintained he was no traitor to Bretonnia. In the end the Brotherhood came for him by force. Corin barely escaped the attack, sending two of the ones who came for him straight to hell with arrows in their hearts. Wounded and weary, Corin was found collapsed and bleeding in the forest by a local huntsman who alerted the magistrate. The court proceedings were swift and an example was to be made of Corin as a warning to others. Death by burning - a most cruel and painful way to leave this world.
As Corin was strapped to the ritual chair and the pyre built around him, unseasonable torrential rains began to pour down from the heavens. For 3 days and 3 nights it rained, all the while Corin stayed restrained to the sodden pyre. The embarrassed magistrate removed him on the third day and decreed he shall instead be hung from the neck until dead.
As Corin stood atop the hangmans ladder, a heavy mist rolled through the town. So thick and so obscuring it was, none could see more than a few feet in front of themselves. The crowd booed and jeered, for they wanted to see the thief dangle and kick his last. Again, the embarrassed magistrate had Corin removed from the gallows, this time decreeing that he shall be drowned in the lake, surely a surefire and simple execution.
As Corin lay upon the platform-barge in the center of the lake, a hessian bag about his head and heavy stone weights about his ankles, a sudden rumbling shook the ground. A great whirlpool opened in the center of the lake, draining the water down to barely knee-deep. There on the silty bottom, exposed for all to see, was a lost marble statue of The Lady herself, standing proud next to the bound and bagged thief.
As one the crowd surged at the magistrate, demanding that Corin be freed, for surely he must be blessed to survive execution thrice. Unwilling to suffer a riot, the Magistrate quickly capitulated that Corin shall be granted leniency from execution, much to the delight of the crowding onlookers.
Corin was quickly bustled away into the keeps of Chinon, wherein the Lord decided that the reformed thief and poacher should accompany the next knightly party which came through town on their way to the crusades. With them he might find a sliver of redemption, and meet the fate The Lady has set for him…

Soon thereafter Corin was placed into the care of the Knights of Balin the Bright, brave and fearless men on a quest to resurrect their patron knight by way of the Grail. Corin was gracious in service to these fine exemplars of nobility and honour, leading the men through the dangerous forests and mountains of central Bretonnia to the foot of Massif Orcal wherein the Grail was rumoured to reside among countless other treasures in a dragons horde. In the ensuring battle against the great lizard, Corin's arrows flew true and struck deeply, buying the crusaders time to unleash the full blessings of their gods against the foul creature. As the fallen dragon's magic leaked and boiled from its many mortal wounds, the Grail stood resplendent among all other riches - Corin knew in his heart of hearts that the Lady had led him here to help these men collect her most favourite of favours. Returning to the shrine at Chinon the water from the Grail was used to revive Sir Balin the Bright, whom many whispered had a claim to the throne of Bretonnia. When approached, Corin immediately pledged his service and if needed his life to the arisen lord. Balin did smile kindly upon the prostrate man, and spoke the words that would change the peasants life forever…

No brother-knight prostrates themselves before me. Arise, Sir Corin of the Crossroads. As witness by the Lady herself, I knight thee.
