Jarl Gelmin Hrontar
Jarl Gelmin Hrontar (a.k.a. The Calamity)
"I'm just a small man making his humble way in the world. Which should really make you think, considering I just burned your whole village down, murdered your draconic master, and looted the treasury of your whole petty kingdom. How's that for ambition?"
~Jarl Gelmin Hrontar, Elector of the Northrealm
"I stabbed him once, just to see if he was secretly an orc. He thought it was hilarious."
~Margrave Arronax Skinner, Elector of Cambreath.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Despite his age, Gelmin is an incredibly strong and healthy man, sometimes described as a "shaved bear" or a "barnhouse full of meat."
Facial Features
Gelmin's face is covered in scars from near misses and misadventures. On his chin is a long, many-braided beard, and his brows are beetled and protruding.
Apparel & Accessories
Gelmin dresses in the Hellion style, with only a girdle for armor and furs and leather more for displaying trophies than real protection.
Specialized Equipment
Gelmin wields Partenkrig, the Bloodaxe. While he normally prefers a myriad of other weapons, he likes to bring out the Bloodaxe on "Special Occasions."
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Gelmin was born in a longship. His parents were Anfallen and had participated in a successful raid on Shelor. He served as a squire to his father, and then to his brother after his father died. He had more battlefield experience at the age of ten than most hardened veterans by the time they retire.
He always lamented that his Becoming was simply another Anfallen raid. This one burned an Ionian monastery and he made enough gold to last a normal man for a lifetime of retirement. He had spent his share of the plunder inside of four weeks.
After attaining adulthood, he continued his Anfallen profession until he finally became a carl in Jarl Juran Hrontar's court. After only a year, he became enraged by the jarl's flabby hedonism and challenged him to a Jehav for the position, which he handily won. His nomination to Elector was much the same, and he very nearly won the Archedler position out of fear that he might do so again. He seems strangely content with his position on the Elector Council, for now.
Sexuality
Gelmin has a title whispered quietly in places he can't hear: they call him "King of All Bastards". Clan Gelminson is so named due to the perception that all fatherless children born in Hrunting Halls are likely his issue.
Employment
Gelmin is a Jarl in the Northrealm,
Elector on the council, and the self styled "High King of Anfallen", a rather dubious title in light of the notorious chaotic nature of the raiders.
Intellectual Characteristics
Gelmin is Sanguine in the extreme, well read and very bright but so wild and meaty that many overlook his wit.
Morality & Philosophy
Gelmin is a Nihilist, trusting in fate to deliver outcomes and judge morality while he simply enjoys his life as hard as he possibly can.

Gelmin is out to enjoy his life and leave a mark on the world. So far he has done pretty well on both fronts.
