Burdock Brown

The ornery Burdock Brown is an Elder of Een. In his youth, he was a friend of Kendra Kandlestar’s Uncle Griffinskitch, but hostility developed between the two wizards over the years. Burdock Brown professes a profound hatred for Kendra’s mother, Kayla Kandlestar, which may be one of the reasons why he dislikes Kendra so much.

Burdock is a hunched and ugly man, with a long nose and a single fuzzy black eyebrow that skitters across his forehead like a caterpillar. Like all Een wizards, Burdock carries a staff of Eenwood, but he has shunned the traditional humble robes and capes for brightly-colored attire. He wears a monocle, a fancy silk scarf, and a garish purple coat with two long tails.

When Winter Woodsong became too ill to continue as head of the council of elders, Burdock assumed her place. He has relished in his new found power, creating many rules and regulations to govern the Land of Een. In particular, Burdock has been able to enact many new laws to punish Een animals. Burdock has always harbored a deep mistrust of Een animals and he considers these “critters” to be wild things, unworthy to live in the Land of Een.
