Brother Otó was a halfling Begganite monk in the 15th century that sought to give back to the poor and needy of his hometown in the form of mead. With Skaldsmead from Gerudia being far too expensive for the common man, and especially the poor due to its distance, Otó sought to make his own mead within his monastery to provide these souls with the sweetness he deemed them missing. Supported by local beekeepers and hop-farms, Otó created the first Sweetbee Mead. For many years Otó provided the local orphanages and shelters of his hometown with the mead. Towards the end of his life he retired from being a monk and fully commited to the mead by opening Brother Otó's Meadery in Beepeck, continuing the tradition of providing mead to the needy.
