Biography[]
The Black Star of Kingston[]
Burnley was selected by Fleck Blackstar as one of his two veteran advisors in Black Star Company, the other being Galt. He thus took part in the early work of establishing Natalia's first coal mine, and was later given the privilege of informing King Whitson Mariner of the company's success. During the Battle of Ayman Lake, Burnley fought fiercely to protect the king and Prince Lander from the Lords of Prey. Sadly, he was mortally wounded during the struggle and died sometime before the destruction of Lillie.
Burnley's sacrifice was honored by the surviving rabbits of Seddleton, with Fleck taking Burnley's mining patch as his own. The newly elevated Lord Blackstar also named the mine Burnley's Colliery.
