Haldur Mandirol, better known as Ratface, is a smallpaw warrior from The Northwyld, who now resides in Forestsedge. A close friend to Jaeger Flamefeather, Ratface is the first mate of The Deliverance and a member of its crew The Flamefeathers. Ratface is a noble, kind warrior who believes in equality and peace for all.

## History

Ratface was born in Fort Shuck, the bastard son of the legendary warrior Grack Mandirol. Raised on his fathers deeds of war and glory, Haldur dreamed of becoming a knight. As he aged, he saw more and more how the ghosts of war haunted his father. Hoping that by training he could return some of Grack's vigor, Haldur instead created a divide between them, culminating in a heartbreaking fight that drove Haldur away from home. Escaping from Fort Shuck, Haldur fled into the ice wastes.

Stranded, with no food or water, Haldur slowly began to freeze to death. He was found by a group of Holy City slavers and thrown onto a ship heading south to Forestsedge. Despite his poor condition, Haldur used the time below decks on the slaver ship to train and restore his body. Scarred, but restored to some degree of strength, the young smallpaw led a rebellion that saw the ship he was aboard crash and the slavers killed. Haldur then parted ways with his freed fellow slaves and made his way further south to The Highlands.

### The Flamefeather

While traveling the streets, he encountered another group of Holy City envoys. Overcome with rage, he attacked the priests on sight, resulting in his arrest and imprisonment in the dungeons of High-Hill, having traded one set of chains for another.

Isolated in the dungeons, Haldur would eventually come face to face with Jaeger and the other members of Twisted Fate. Haldur sensed something in Jaeger, a kindred flame, and swore himself to serve the warrior when he heard of his quest to destroy The Holy City. Deep down, Haldur saw some of the pain on Jaeger’s face that had come to define his fathers, and the young warrior thought that perhaps if he could save Jaeger, then maybe his father could be saved as well. Taking the name Ratface to separate himself from his past, Haldur joined Twisted Fate and became one of their staunchest members.

It was Ratface who dealt the killing blow to The Demoralizer beneath the catacombs of Hillspire, saving the rest of Twisted Fate in the process. He followed the group to Crows Nest in their battles against Sloan, and was side by side with the core members during their quest to Devilsarm and their trips deep into the Underdark where they fought a group of twisted shades. Ratface took command of a division of Highland warriors during the final battle of The War of The Keys, and watched as Twisted Fate banished Edwardius back to the realm of shadows.

### Post War

Following the conclusion of the war and the disbanding of Twisted Fate, Ratface joined Jaeger aboard his ship The Deliverance. Together they sailed across the seas and skies of Forestsedge combating slavery wherever they could. Forming a close partnership with Canis Absalom and The Deckhands, Jaeger’s crew slowly grew, something Ratface encouraged. As Jaeger was surrounded by more people he had saved, Ratface saw more light shine in the captain's eyes. Ratface helped Jaeger in ensuring the common folks' needs were being met during the signing of The Guardian Writ and the formation of The Guardian Council.

As The Flamefeathers grew in influence, so too did the danger of their deeds. Ratface participated in the campaign against Captain Sucker and his Holy City backed army, fighting side by side with Jaeger as they destroyed the illithid’s fleet and claimed his island fortress for their own, naming it Charcara Island and establishing it as a home for all freed slaves. Ratface was also present when Jaeger came into conflict with The Sea Wretches, a young crew of wayward pirates who had been led astray. He was the motivating factor in letting their rebelling members join the crew of The Deliverance.

Currently, Ratface is engaged in a protracted war against the Holy City, Jaeger leading the charge in what has come to be called the War of Angels.
