Bjorndal

Bjorndal alias Ishender (Ice-Hands) is the Runescribe Dwarf member of the Branded and, alongside Theodorus, the most educated in every matter as well as a walking terror in the battlefield. In the worst of his moods, Bjorndal does credit to his family and nickname as he dampens and crushes his foes with ice and steel.

Appearance and Character
It is universally acknowledged that physical attractiveness is not considered an especial virtue among Dwarves and Runescribes in particular have a reputation for their brutal looks. Apart from his broken nose, scars, tattoos and shaggy beard and his many dreadlocks, what really makes Bjorndal Ishender stand out is his particular large muscular body. While most Dwarves, particularly the older Longbeards, are gloomy and mostly serious, Bjorndal is known for his understanding, near-passive and cold mood. He's slow to anger, but it is well advisable not to. For when he is, he stands a formidable foe.

Bjorndal is a long time runescribe. He takes a liking to padded leather armors wherever he finds himself. His frost magical gift having rendered him greatly tolerant to Hessos' cold weather, in its mountains and otherwise. He may be a scholar, but like all Runescribes Bjorndal is redoubtable in combat, a fearless opponent who never gives up, and it goes without saying that his drinking capacity is as formidable as his knowledge and martial prowess. In battle, he charges swinging both axe and his stone-hard frozen hands.
