Brother Dair was born in the village of Roghadal in the once-Norse Outer Hebrides of Scotland. His Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) birth name is Þórmóðr Clainn mhic Leòid na Hearaidh, which roughly translates as “Tormod, of the Clan MacLeod, of the Isle of Harris.”

Because of the moral resolve that he showed as a youth, he picked up the nickname “Diar” which means “oak tree” in his native tongue – by which he is almost exclusively known. He became a novice at a nearby monastery at a very young age. Excelling in academia, the Right Reverend Abbot Chliamann (Clement) sent him to study in Rome with a sealed letter addressed to HH Pope Martinus III, describing Brother Dair as a polymath.

As a learned monk, Brother Dair’s travels have taken him throughout the known world. He has lived in Tirnewydd Shire (AS 13-32), Azurmont Canton (AS 32-36), and currently resides in Quintavia Shire (since AS 36).
