Brom doesn’t remember his early life. He knows that a dwarf named Isil Ironbones found him in the woods, broken and bleeding, and nursed him back to health. He never lost the large divot in the back of his skull though.  Ironbones ran his own brewery and farm just outside of Secomber, and allowed Brom to stay on and help. He was even given a room in the basement of the brew house.  Brom tells people he grew up on the farm, pulling the plow and toting the kegs of beer. He remembers that after awhile there were strange men, and they were giving the townsfolk a hard time. They came around to the farm/brewery and gave Mr. Ironbones a hard time. Roughed him up something fierce. But Brom’s memory gets a bit hazy at that point. He remembers waking up with blood on his hands,  and the strange men looked a lot worse for wear. They may have still been living, he didn’t know how to check. But he knew he was in trouble. Mr. Iornbones would be mad, he didn’t like trouble at his place, and the town would probably be mad, because good townspeople don’t hurt people. He didn’t waste time. He gathered his few meager possessions, including a partial set of armor he had found buried in the floor of the basement and ran. He’s been moving ever since, trying hard to keep ahead of his past and earn money where he can. But every once in awhile, something happens, and his thoughts kind of get hazy, and he ends up breaking things, or sometimes people. 
As he entered the outskirts of Daggerford, Brom noticed the locals acting oddly toward a small girl with an old dolly. It jut struck him as not being right, their mistreating a young girl like that. He decided to try and stand up for her. The locals did not like that. At first it seemed like they were afraid of them, but then they tarted getting mad. Then the pitchforks and torches came out. Brom grabbed the girl and ran, but he was slow. the mob grabbed him, but he wiggled out of most of his "borrowed" armor, and was able to escape. When they were safe, he found out that the girl's name is Cora, and that she was left at an orphanage. He's decided that it would be good if he help her find her past as he tries to forge his future.
