Breechbranch is an ambient carpentry mage based in the island city of Kugisko, located on the Syth in Namorn. He was one of the carpentry mages whom Matazidah Bancanor selected as a possible teacher for her daughter Nia. Daja Kisubo learned from Camoc Oakborn, another carpenter mage, that Breechbranch would not be a good teacher for a young girl as he had a tendency to use the switch when drunk, which happened a lot lately. Breechbranch apparently owned a very selective shop that catered to the wealthy of Kugisko. Morrachane Ladradun cited this as a reason that Nia should have chosen Breechbranch as opposed to the messy warehouse that Camoc Oakborn owned.
