Buri

Buri [Beu-ree] was the legendary elder of the Sayers Iceblood clan on Assail.Assail (novel), Dramatis Personae, UK HB p.13 Badlands, of the Lost Iceblood clan, professed that although Buri was claimed by the Sayers, he was a "forefather of us all seein' as he's older even than some clans".Assail (novel), Chapter 11 He was sometimes referred to as "Winter" by the Sayers because he seemed to bring winter with him when he visited, although these visits were rare because he was always on patrol.Assail (novel), Chapter 4 
Buri was an ancient, "painfully slim" giant, "so pale he seemed to glow" with "long almond-shaped eyes." His wild mane of hair and long ragged beard were snow-white and he dressed in a loincloth even in freezing snow.Assail (novel), Chapter 8Assail (novel), Chapter 14

Buri found Orman dying on one of the upper crags of the Salt Peaks. After Buri revived him, Orman pleaded with him to return to defend the Sayer Greathall. But Buri declined, claiming he needed to prepare for the "true enemy". He sent Orman back south telling him he needed to reclaim Svalthbrul from Lotji Bain.Assail (novel), Chapter 8
Orman returned to Buri after the fall of the Sayer Greathall. Sitting nearly covered in snow, Buri asked Orman to complete a ritual of sacrifice by slaying him with Svalthbrul. Orman impaled Buri into the ground with a heavy heart, unleashing the Jaghut icewall.Assail (novel), Chapter 14
