==Biography==
Ecbert and Edward were sent to Readingum Abbey by their family. While Edward became a copyist monk, Ecbert eventually became the leader of the congregation. One day, Ecbert received a number of scrolls containing a [[Isu script|script]] he could not decipher. A [[Vikings|Viking]] attack to the abbey helmed by [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] led to his brother's kidnapping and to the building burning while Ecbert attempted to retrieve the odd scrolls. After seeing his brother being taken, Ecbert ventured away from Readingum in search for help, finding his way to King [[Alfred the Great]], who he hoped would pay a ransom in exchange for information about the scrolls. Alfred instead sent him to infiltrate the source of the scrolls: an [[Codex of Eden|artifact]] in the hands of [[Saint Columba the Reborn]]'s sect in [[Loch Ness]].<ref name="ACV"/>

Edward, along with [[Niels Gunnarsson]] and [[Adelaïde]], managed to locate the sect's [[Loch Ness Temple|headquarters]] and enter it unnoticed. When Ecbert noticed Edward, he took his brother to his room so they could talk and update each other on what had happened since the attack at Readingum Abbey. Edward attempted to convince Ecbert to return to the Abbey, but Ecbert wished to use the artefact himself so that he could make their family, the Church, stronger than ever, seeing as how the sect had managed to convert not only [[Anglo-Saxons]], but also the [[Picts]] and the Vikings.<ref name="ACV"/>

After an altercation with the members of the sect, Adelaïde started a mechanism that flooded the headquarters. As the group left, Adelaïde mentioned that [[Hidden Ones|her Order]] would be able to better use the artifact, Ecbert attempted to kill her, throwing a dagger at her, only for her to catch it and throw it back at him, striking him in the chest and instantly killing him.<ref name="ACV"/>
