Brophy was a trader in things of dubious nature at the gray edges of law. These things were things of magic, such as artifacts, books, stones, statues, staves, etc. However, some of the things of magic he traded were living creatures of magic. Brophy was wrongly accused by Demmin Nass of the murder of a young boy (Rachel's brother). Brophy submitted to the Mother Confessor, Kahlan Amnell, to prove his innocence. Kahlan's wizard, Giller, then turned Brophy into a wolf in order to allow him to continue to live his life. The change took away some of the magic of the Confessor, and gave him enough concern for himself to start over with a new life.
