Ivar was sentenced to a life of hard labor after an undisclosed crime. During his sentence he met [[K'jalis]] and the two hatched a plan to escape. The two single most dangerous prisoners to never finish their sentence, hatched an escape plan and were free after only serving less than a quarter of their sentences. On their way east, the two escapees met [[Whisper]] in the village of Commonstead. The villagers had mutilated, tortured, and shoved the Tiefling into a makeshift, man-sized birdcage above an open fire. After convincing the town guard to free Whisper, Ivar later went back and slaughtered them all.

===The Slaughter at Kartenheim===
[[Category:NPCs]]
Ivar was sighted at the Viking city of Kartenheim. Reports say he entered the king's castle and slaughtered the entire noble family. Once done, he exited the castle and stormed the streets of Kartenheim with an army of thieves and murderers and killed hundreds. The almost absurd, even shocking, truth is that after Ivar butchered the noble family, he took to the sky and vaporized entire city blocks from the sheer speed and force he flew at. But the thought of a Goliath like Ivar having strength like that, is too terrifying to imagine for the Alliance. That heroes, aren't the only ones with the strength to move cities. Since the incident, Ivar's record has been redacted a number of times and sightings of him have been kept hidden from the public. Best to bury a nightmare like him in fairytales.

Appearance

Ivar is described as having rough, calloused, scarred features from years of fighting. His body is a tapestry of failed attempts to kill him. He's described as being over eight feet tall with pale skin, ember reddish-brown eyes, and dark, reddish hair. A rare genetic mutation in Goliaths. If his sheer size wasn't enough to identify him, Ivar was described as having a deep-tissue scar along the left side of his face that gives his jaw a bit of a deformed look. Ivar's quiet, contemplative presence with his intimidating stature has silenced rooms full of people.

Backstory

Prayer of the Refugee

Very little is known about Ivar's childhood, only that he was born in the Frostback Basin region of the Icewind Dales pre-Jotunrath to Goliath Chieftain Boudeca Warborn. As a consequence of Boudeca's betrayal of Ygrid during the Seven Year War, Ivar and his mother were exiled but were given refuge by the Human Council in the Alliance territories. There is even less information on Ivar's life in a post-Seven Year War Alliance. Ivar's trail ends somewhere upon his and Boudeca's arrival in the Alliance. There were a number of reported sightings of Ivar in Kartenheim, Commonstead, a number of other cities in the viking territories of the Alliance. These recorded reports and stories are either speculation, have been redacted, or destroyed in any collection entirely. But it all ends in the Alliance's supermax prison, the Maw. It was there that he, K'jalis, and Whisper started the Forsaken.

Ivar is one of the founders and leaders of the Forsaken. He is described as a cold, callous, often violent individual with little regard for the lives his mad band of anarchists have claimed. If an obstacle doesn't yield to Whisper's charming songs and magic, then Ivar rends it bent, battered, and broken. Ivar displays little patience for everyday inconveniences and is almost inconsolable in his most violent fits of rage seen only by Whisper and a select few. His disregard for innocent life and almost performative displays of violence earned Ivar the nickname, Ivar the Red, amongst allies and enemies alike.
