Chlodochar

“The pale, cold light of the winter sunset did not beautify - it was like the light of truth itself. When the smoky clouds hung low in the west and the red sun went down behind them, leaving a pink flush on the snowy roofs and the blue drifts, then the wind sprang up afresh, with a kind of bitter song, as if it said, 'This is reality, whether you like it or not. All those frivolities of summer, the light and shadow, the living mask of green that trembled over everything, they were lies, and this is what was underneath. This is the truth.' It was as if we were being punished for loving the loveliness of summer.”
-Chlodochar
== History ==
Born in Jotunheim, Chlodochar was a wayward youth who fell in with a gang of bandits at a young age. His gang came to a grim end when they preyed on Uldra territory. Those above a certain age were killed, and the youngest - Chlodochar included - were enslaved. Eventually Chlodochar escaped and lived in the wild for a few years, but having no home to return to, became a worshiper of Iborighu and rejoined the Uldras. He was a small contingent of human worshipers of Iborighu, who were treated with contempt by their Uldra counterparts. Chlodochar quickly rose in prominence among his peers for his ruthlessness and grit, and served under the direct command of the Winterhaunt himself. 
At the outset of the Winter War, the Cult of Iborighu, led by the Winterhaunt, declared the newfound worshipers of the Windwalker as heretics. Seeing an opportunity, Chlodochar rallied the human worshipers of Iborighu around him, murdered the Winterhaunt, and proclaimed the Windwalker to be the incarnation of their god. The daring move paid off, and Chlodochar was declared to be the new Winterhaunt by his followers. 
Serving as the High Priest of the Windwalker, Chlodochar was the most powerful mortal in the service of the Cult of the Windwalker, and the Cult's only capable general. As time went on, his mortal followers were quickly consumed by the Wendigo curse, becoming ravenous cannibals stripped of humanity. In the end, only Chlodochar, who had the protection of his god, remained sane. He led the Wendigos in the final battle against the alliance of northern countries, and was killed on the battlefield by Dolom Tkerekin. 
== Personality ==
Chlodochar was an emotionally stunted man who lacked fear and empathy. He was seemingly indifferent to pain and connected better to wild beasts then to people. He was willing to endure any agony or disgrace to survive, but those who knew him often wondered what he strove for. Towards the end of his life, he felt a sliver of regret for dooming his followers to the Wendigo curse, and fought his last battle with the resignation of a man carrying out his assigned role.
