Chaptermaster Duncan Ironfoot
Biography
Duncan was born in the noble Ironfoot family in Ironheim. His family controlled one of the large Iron mines Ironheim is known for. Like most people of this city he grew up in harsh conditions and even as a noble did not escape work in the mines. Eventually his father died and Duncan rose to the rank of patriarch of the Ironfoot clan. This happened to coalesce with the conquest of the city by
The Night's Watch in 1392. The ruling Jarl Handal was disposed and Duncan showed himself willing to support the Night's Watch. This led
Marcus Vardenfell to appoint him as Chaptermaster of Ironheim. During Vardenfell's reign Ironfoot showed himself a staunch protector of Ironheims interests.
Skills
Duncan Ironfoot is a skilled barbarian wielding a battle hammer to hammer all foes into submission. Apart from that he knows his way around the forge, the mead hall and a mine.
Personality
Duncan has a rugged character. He doesn't make friends with outsiders easily, but the friendships he does make last a lifetime. Furthermore he is an avid drinker.
Ideals
Duncan's belief system is very much tied up with the Nordic ideal of honour and valour in battle. This is coupled with the cold calculating sense of the Ironfoot clan.
Bonds
Duncan's first and foremost allegiance is to Ironheim and his clan. The Night's Watch comes at a close second.
Flaws
Duncan is the poster child for hotheads everywhere. He is known to be subject to fits of rage, stubbornness and mistrust to outsiders. The ones he does call friends however, he trusts with his life. Sometimes he even trusts them a bit too much. He can also be a demanding lord.
Diplomacy
As far as Duncan is concerned the world beyond Ironheim can fuck off as long as somebody buys their prized black steel.
