Stelest Kruman Ironjaw

A mountain with a beard, iron-gray, one eye milk-white from a spear at Thalmirn, the other very sharp. Jaw broken and set crooked in youth, hence the name; he chews on the left. Killed eleven men in single combat and buried two wives and four sons. Believes the Hrodvald are wolves and Selra wants to make them dogs. Walked out of the Vuvud when she was elected and has not come back. Keeps the old ways exactly: hospitality without limit, vengeance without limit. Not stupid; his grievance is real, and half the north agrees. Honorable, reactionary, a wall. Will challenge her, or die of the wait.
