Mariabronne Mariabronne the Rover was a human ranger , famous throughout the lands of Damara , often called The Tamer of Vaasa . Description . At about 40 years of age , Mariabronne ' s face showed the hardship that came with more than 20 years of battles . His fairly long and thick brown locks were usually unkempt and covered his ears and neck , complementing his scruffy beard . Still , he was considered quite handsome with his brown eyes shining with a luster of youth more fitting of a man half his age . His grin could be both commanding and mischievous . His lean but finely muscled body was often covered by dirty garbs . Personality . As a nomadic warrior , he often talked to himself for he was often alone . He wanted no partners in hunting or life unless in the form of a temporary arrangement or a warm , soft body beside him in a warm soft bed . Mariabronne viewed his responsibilities as beyond the call of his personal desires . His visions and aspirations were rooted in the hope of an entire nation — to tame wild Vaasa . Being acquainted with King Gareth Dragonsbane , Mariabronne knew how to behave at court . Still , he had never been fond of the pretension and the elevation of class . The ranger judged a person by his actions alone , despite the rumors that might be spreading . History . Mariabronne was the long - time student of the ranger Olwen Forest - Friend and even grew to be as close to a son as Olwen ever had . Mariabronne had risen through the ranks of the Bloodstone Army in the years during the war with Zhengyi , the Witch - King . Since the years of King Gareth Dragonsbane ' s rise and the fall of the Witch - King , Mariabronne was patrolling the Vaasa n wilds and served Palischuk as a courier to the Gates of Vaasa and Damara and as a guide for Palischukian hunting parties . Together with the Bloodstone Army commander Ellery Dragonsbane , the dwarves Athrogate and Pratcus , the mage Canthan Doolittle , the half - orc s Arrayan Faylin and Olgerkhan , and the assassin Artemis Entreri and his drow friend Jarlaxle , Mariabronne went to defeat one of the Witch - King ' s constructs , a castle much like Castle Perilous . After breaking through the castle ' s primary defenses , the Rover scouted through tunnels , going further than commanded , as befitting his reckless nature . The Rover engaged a group of gnoll mummies , and there , distracted by the appearance of guardian daemon s , took a severe neck wound that punctured a major artery from one of the mummies . He proceeded to slay multiple daemons and mummies , seemingly not noticing the wound until he attempted to taunt a daemon and found that he was coughing blood . He succumbed to blood loss soon after . Later , during a battle with a [ [ black dragon [ [ dracolich ] ] , his corpse was reanimated , along with the corpse of Ellery Dragonsbane , whom Artemis Entreri had slain with a prick to the heart after she attacked Jarlaxle at the behest of the [ [ Citadel of Assassins ] ] , and [ [ Canthan Doolittle ] ] , who had similarly been in the employ of the Citadel of Assassins , and had similarly died at the hands of Entreri . All three corpses were destroyed in that battle . Possessions . Mariabronne ' s favorite weapon was [ [ Bayurel ] ] , his renowned [ [ bastard sword ] ] , a solid , thick blade enchanted with a special hatred for [ [ giant - kin ] ] . Upon examining his deceased body , Jarlaxle noticed that the ranger wore a ring and a suit of armor with minor enchantment . Nevertheless , Jarlaxle took from Mariabronne a magical figurine that transformed into a [ [ Nightmare ( creature ) | nightmare ] ] mount , which he gifted to Artemis Entreri . Appendix .
