Born in the same village in Béarn as Marcellus of Verditius, Menaut is in fact a distant cousin to him, as well as the nephew of Bernat. He is one of those for whom village life an ill fit, due to his temper even at a young age. So as soon as he turned 13, he joined his uncle at the covenant of Nidi and began training to become a grog.
Two years ago he was engaged to a local girl named Alissandre. He loved her deeply and even though of giving up his training to settle with her. Unfortunately, Alissandre died in a fire shortly before their marriage. Menaut tried to rescue her, suffering extensive burns in the process. It took him months for his body to recover from his burns, and he still has extensive scars they disfigure him, some of which make it hard for him to speak. The wound to his soul remain, however, and the anger he has carried most of his youth smolders in him.
Sensing that the young man needed watching over, Bernat took him under his wing. Believing that a change of location would be good for the young man, he convinced him to follow Marcellus to his new covenant.
