![[HrogarGiantsbanePathfinder-v2.webp]] # Hrogar Giantsbane _Human Warrior | [[Tribe of the Elk]] | [[Fort Ten-Torch]]_ ## Summary [[Dreyvarg Drazhan|Dreyvarg]]'s most loyal warrior and oldest friend — he still calls her Hertha. Massive and boisterous, he tells outrageous stories about killing giants, at least one of which is probably true. %% ## Now _placeholder_ ## Appearance Enormous even by northern standards, with a beard like a bramble bush and scars everywhere, each with a story. Wears a giant's tooth on a cord around his neck. ## Personality Boisterous, crude, fiercely loyal. Covers deeper feelings with bluster and tall tales, laughs too loud and drinks too much. Surprisingly perceptive about others but blind to his own heart. Gets quiet when Hertha is in danger — that is when he is most dangerous. Treats the war against [[Isarr Kronenstrom]] as a personal grudge. ## Quote _"I once wrestled a frost giant for three days straight. Would've won too, if he hadn't cheated by dying."_ ## Connections **[[Dreyvarg Drazhan]]** — oldest friend since childhood; secretly in love with her, which everyone knows except the two of them. **[[Sigrid Giantsbane]]** — younger sister. ## Background **The Giantsbane Name:** His grandfather earned the name killing a frost giant that wandered too close to Elk territory. Hrogar has spent his whole life trying to live up to it, and probably has. **Hertha's Shadow:** Grew up alongside the girl the elders whispered about in the [[Tribe of the Elk]]. He never cared about prophecy. When she became [[Dreyvarg Drazhan|Dreyvarg]] and took up the Red Wolf mantle, he stayed exactly the same — his friend needed him. ## Stats **Base:** Berserker (MM p.344), CR 2, modified. - AC 13 (hide armor), HP 67 (9d8 + 27), Speed 30 ft. - Reckless: at the start of his turn, can gain advantage on all melee attacks, but attacks against him have advantage until his next turn. - Multiattack: two greataxe attacks (+5 to hit, 1d12 + 3 slashing). %%
