「Personality」
Brencis is gentle and meek, but people are often intimidated by him not only because he's a witch--though that is the main reason--but because he's so dishevelled and awkward. And very, very tall. An anxious man, Brencis stays in the forest he lives in unless he needs to trade in the town for something he can't make or get himself, not enjoying all the stares he gets for various reasons.
Though depressed and anxious now, he wasn't always so sad. He enjoyed his life despite his anxiety, but after events that left him emotionally and metally scarred, and later "cursed", Brencis was never really the same. Most of the time he has to rely on his rat familiar (a young girl in human form) to help take care of himself, as he's not very good at it, often forgetting to eat, or bathe, or run important errands.
He tends to wallow in his sadness because to him, there is no way out of it. He bides his time gardening and helping others in an attempt to lift his spirits, though it doesn't help as much as he wishes it would. He's long given up on the idea he will ever get better--until Bastian comes along.
To others, however, he comes across as lacking much emotion. When he's not actively having a depressive episode, he appears to be in a stoic, dissociative state and hardly emotes properly. This changes upon receiving a certain magical ring from Bastian, making it so that he's capable of emoting again, however dulled due to depression.

「History」
Witches are looked down upon, so he lives in the middle of the forest (which is fine with him since he's a nature witch). He has a little magical garden that he uses to make anything from tea to spells to cures to ailments for anyone who's willing to trek out to his home.
The missing eye and marks on the back of his hands are part of a magical "illness" he's afflicted with. The marks are a symbol of the nature of the illness, which he hasn't disclosed with anyone. If anyone asks, they're tattoos. Due to the nature of the affliction, Brencis becomes ill often, coughing up a dark, tar/ink-like substance. If ill enough or using certain magic, the subtance can leak from other orifices, such as his nose or tear ducts.

Originally named Barış, Brencis was born to a Jordaninan witch and a Turkish merchant. His father ditched shortly after the boy was born, and thus he was raised alone by his mother (and the help of a few neighbours). She taught Brencis how to use his own powers, to control the nature around them--and to only use it for good.
While he was still a child, his mother was exposed as a witch and killed for it, and the small Brencis escaped before they could do the same to him. He spent most of his early life traveling around and avoiding people, fearing what they would do to him if they found out he was a witch. As Brencis reached his late teens, he spent more time around others. He was distant and anxious, but curious. He also realised that trade was a thing, and could net him some actual food rather than just trying to sustain himself off the land.
And when he discovered he could put his magical herbalism to use without giving himself away, he began to trade and sell teas and medicines, and eventually joined up with a group of travelling merchants bound for Turkey. He grew close to some of these people, and though he decided to stay in Turkey, he kept in contact with a few of them.
He spent years in Turkey (and a bit of time in Greece), though he never actually settled. After his witchcraft was publicly exposed, Brencis decided to leave the area for good, despite no actual threats on his life.
It was during his travels to a much different land that he met Maya, his rat familiar. Brencis finally settled in Germany, finding the country quite beautiful and green. Here, he stopped trying to hide who he was, and though he was shunned for being a witch, no one bothered him much in his cottage out in the woods.
It was here that he started his new life.
