Björn Steelfist
Head of the Wererat Investigation Bureau Adventuring Guild Edition
Mental characteristics
Personal history
A Colossus Reformed:
Standing head and shoulders above even the tallest goliaths, Björn Steelfist commands attention. Gone are the days of wild braids and berserker rage. In their place, a neatly-trimmed beard sits under a sensible wool cap, framing eyes that still flicker with the glint of past brawls, now softened by years of bookish pursuits and leadership. A worn sweater drapes his massive frame, evidence of a newfound appreciation for warmth over battle scars.
From Rivalry to Respect:
The icy chasm between Björn and Neurion, the flamboyant Wererat bard, is a legend whispered within the Investigations Bureau. Their duel, fueled by rage and pride, ended with Björn bested and his beard, a symbol of goliath strength, shorn off. It was Neurion, in a surprising act of solidarity, who shaved his own head, forging a bond of shared vulnerability and respect.
Reluctant Leader:
Thrust into the role of Guild Master, Björn surprised everyone, himself included. The quiet corners of the library became his battlefield, tax ledgers his weapons. He devoured legal codes, meticulously organizing guild finances, and fostered a spirit of camaraderie among the diverse investigators. His booming laugh still fills the halls, but now it's more likely to erupt after a particularly witty remark from the ever-sharp Neurion than after a tavern brawl.
Beneath the Surface:
Beneath the calm exterior, glimpses of the old Björn flicker. An unexpected threat sends a spark of berserker rage through his eyes, only to be tempered by the wisdom gleaned from countless scrolls. He still enjoys a good ale, though these days he savors it by the fireplace, surrounded by chattering investigators, rather than alone in a smoky tavern.
Contradictions and Quirks:
Björn enjoys knitting woolly hats for the younger investigators, his massive hands surprisingly adept at delicate needlework.
He has a secret fondness for historical romances, hidden amongst the legal tomes in his office.
He still carries a small braided tuft of his beard, tucked in his pocket, a reminder of his past and a symbol of his journey.
When stressed, he reverts to a dialect so thick and archaic, even the oldest werewolf struggles to understand him.
A Gentle Giant:
Björn Steelfist is a testament to the transformative power of friendship and responsibility. He's a leader who embodies both strength and vulnerability, order and chaos, a gentle giant who still harbors a flicker of the berserker within. He's a character who invites exploration, laughter, and the occasional surprising reminder of his formidable past.
