Sibling - Fargrim Balderk
Relation with Dagnal: Fargrim and Dagnal are siblings, with Fargrim being the older brother. Despite his troubled past and tendency to shy away from social interactions, he feels a sense of responsibility towards Dagnal. They live separately, as Fargrim's high-society lifestyle and Dagnal's more grounded existence don't align well.
Feelings towards Dagnal: Fargrim harbors a mix of guilt and protectiveness towards Dagnal. He feels guilty for not being there for her during their tumultuous upbringing and is protective of her current endeavors. However, his PTSD and shyness often prevent him from expressing these feelings openly.
What He Tells Strangers: To strangers, Fargrim is reticent about his family, given his disownment. He might mention Dagnal in passing but avoids delving into details, partly due to his shy nature and partly due to his complicated feelings about their past.
