Wultgar

[Deceased: Ate Kruthik Eggs]

Human fighter

Wultgar was a simple labourer in Nendalem from youth into his middle years, who spent his days carrying heavy loads, drinking, brawling, and gambling. Inborn stupidity and a low income eventually left him with unsettlably large debts to some unpleasant people. Given a choice between a certain death at their hands or a probable death at the hands of another indentured debtor in pit fights, he chose the latter (a seven year contract) and discovered he had a knack for it. Within a year he had a reputation and an unusual signature fighting style - whip and gauntlet. Being good at something led to some reflection on his life, a renewed appetite for it, and at length a desire to do something of value. His opportunity arrived when one Haroran's men witnessed him fight and suspected he was destined for something better. Haroran was eventually persuaded to agree, bought out Wultgar's indenture, and set about re-civilizing him.

Now Wultgar keeps his impulses in check with frequent prayers to Erathis, and uses his skill at violence to protect his compatriots in the Circle of Orin. Although Haroran legally owns him for several more years, his loyalty goes well beyond his indenture now, and he is happy to serve the Circle. He knows that he lacks the wit to make any big decisions or navigate complex situations, and is content instead to take the role of bodyguard for the people who are better at those things.

Wultgar's earlier years of outdoor labour have left him with very dark, leathery skin almost indistinguishable from the thick leather cuirass he usually wears. He is tall, sinewy, bald, and tough as nails.
