Colin: at Pennsic XXXVThe extreme past for Colin was a cloudy one. His earliest memory is of his old friend Murrough O'Connor. Murrough had found a clan of folk that treated him as if he were one of their own. Murrough's excitement over his encounter with the Tuatha de Bhriain led him to bring his life friend Colin to join in the clan experience. Colin, always confused on where to hang his kilt, felt that he had finally found a home.

For a while, Colin was quite happy and the Tuatha de Bhriain grew to be a great clan with a great big top hall for all to come and enjoy concerts, feasts, and ceremonies. This went on for a few years, until, ironically, when the big top came down, so did this chapter in Colin's and the clan's history.

Colin's old restless spirit and the call of loyalty to his fried Murrough, caused Colin to leave the Tuatha de Bhriain for foreign experiences amongst a traveling group of former Bhriains.

However, after a time abroad, Colin made his way back to the Tuatha de Bhriain to find the clan still a strong and happy place. The clan welcomed him back and decided it was time to settle in. Colin realized he had found his home after all.
