Gwynbleidd "White Wolf"

## Character Biography

### **Backstory**

Gwynbleidd was born into the white dragonborn clan "Gwyn". As a runt, she was brutally tortured and picked on day in and day out.

Eventually, things escalated to a point that she could no longer handle. Her clutch-mate, Gwyntân, was executed in front of her, purely to torture her. Gwyntân had done no wrong. In her grief stricken rage, she struck out against her aggressor, Gwynbrenin. His superior size and strength meant her attack was meaningless. However, the sheer idea that someone of such low status would dare to attack him was appalling. He grabbed her and threw her into the prisoner's cages, to "reflect on striking the clan chief's son".

#### **Escape**

That night, in her cage, Gwynbleidd had a dream.

She was visited by the dragon Bahamut. This was unheard of. Clan Gwyn were faithful to Tiamat. No words were spoken. None were needed. Gwynbleidd knew what she had to do.

That
morning, she found a simple pin that had been left in her cage. Foolish, really. Gwynbleidd, while strong in her own right, had always preferred using less "direct" methods. Before the rest of the clan had awoken, Gwynbleidd had picked the lock of her cage, returned to her home, gathered her belongings, and left.

#### **Departure**

Gwynbleidd journeyed to the (relatively) nearby city of Jaegar, the city of trade. While initially she was met was blatant distrust, and in some cases outright aggression, she made clear she meant no harm. She made friends with the thieves guild, as they were the first people to accept her. They gave her a job. She was to track down thieves in the city who had not been paying their fees, and bring them to the guild.

Gwynbleidd proved quite adept at this task. Eventually, she moved beyond tracking thieves to bounties on criminals that had been posted by the city itself.

#### **New Beginnings**

Gwynbleidd has proven herself to be an adept bounty hunter. She only kills when absolutely
necessary, preferring to incapacitate her opponents. She has seen enough torture and bloodshed in her short lifetime.

After
some time passed, Gwynbleidd realised that, one day, her clan would hear of her deeds, and come for her. It was a matter of honour. She couldn't hope to stand up to them on her own. She meditated, and reached out to Bahamut for guidance. He bestowed upon her certain powers, but in return, one day Bahamut would call upon her, and she would have to obey.

### **Appearance**

Gwynbleidd is a white dragonborn with icy-blue eyes. Typically she wears a large hooded cloak over her armour, in order to mask her appearance as a white dragonborn. At a distance, she could easily pass as a silver dragonborn, which are far more accepted.

Gwynbleidd is rather short for a dragonborn, standing at only 6' 2", and weighing only 215lbs. She is considered the "runt" of her clan.

Gwynbleidd utilizes a variety of weapons during combat, including a whip, a net, and handaxes. Her preference is her magical bastard sword, the Xarzith Jenna'caex, which she simply refers to as "Caex". She switches between sword and shield or two handing the weapon as suits the situation. Gwynbleidd wears a set of full-plate armour, charcoal in colour with a pale golden trim. He shield follows this colour scheme, and carries no emblem.

Gwynbleidd has a variety of spells she can call upon to assist her and her comrades. She tends to favour spells that control her opponents, rather than dealing direct damage. That being said, she does love to hurl the occasional Fireball spell at large groups of opponents.

### **Personality**

Gwynbleidd (known as Gwyn to her comrades, or as "Scaley" by Hrothgar) is a good soul. She is slow to trust, but fiercely loyal once that trust is earned. She tends to do her own thing during a battle, as she is more than capable of handling herself. Gwyn dislikes killing, and will attempt to incapacitate her opponents rather than outright killing them.

Gwyn has a very poor temper, likely a result of being a white dragonborn. She tends to fly into a rage when her comrades are injured in front of her, dismembering the offender and showing absolutely no quarter.

### **Relationships**

Gwynbleidd, while not being a member, is a staunch ally of the Thieves' Guild in Jaegar. They cared for her after she left her clan, so they work together on occasion.

While not always agreeing with him, Gwynbleidd has a great degree of respect for Hrothgar. This has mostly been forged during combat. They tend to disagree in less violent situations, but they can (usually) come up with a compromise.

One person Gwynbleidd keeps in relatively regular contact with is Lyzander. An old contact from her early years in Jaeger, the two have become friends, of a sort.
