Jordun Brunhilde is a Mountain Dwarf and a member of the Forsaken. He is one of the antagonists of Part 3.

Appearence

Jordun is relatively tall for a dwarf, standing at 160 cm. His notable traits being a pronounced beer gut even for his people, muddy brown to graying short hair, a stubble rather than a beard, and oatmeal brown eyes. He's often wearing brown clothes that resemble a parody of a tunic and has a noticeable hook nose.

Personality

Known for his tall tales and exaggerations to the point of being considered a compulsive liar, it can be hard to tell when Jordun is serious about his past and which is the truth, often with the outlandish being more plausible than the fictitious. This can make him either an entertaining guest to listen to, able to talk for hours on end with tale after tale, or an utter annoyance who can ramble on without getting to the point, testing one's patience. Despite this, he can show signs of intent and cunning, able to put on a show of loyalty.

Due to his stature as taller than most dwarves, it wasn't uncommon for Jordun to be mistaken for a midget or a manlet, especially due to his trim shave, this was something he took full advantage of when negotiating other dwarves or halflings, making them lower their guard in thinking they were speaking to another smug human before he picked apart their minds. In his past, he was a well known womanizer as well, flirting with most women with tales of heroics.

When first meeting, it would be easy to get along with Jordun as he would prattle on, but aware when he should be quiet. Despite seeming jovial, Jordun is more apathetic and nihilistic than he lets on, sometimes going with the flow while viewing everything as finite, from lives to the planet. This is a major contrast from his old self, likely caused from the loss of his wife. He is also one of the few members of the Forsaken with hints of morality, begging Ivar to let Clymene go rather than kill her while also showing regret at her suffering.

While loyal, he can seem fearful of those with power, a major contrast from his old self. Clymene used to consider him a fun man whereas Atalanta would have once described him as a good friend and a man with morals.

Backstory

HEAVY SPOILERS. WILL BE UPDATED SOON

Equipment

Titanstone Gauntlets: Jordun maintains powerful gauntlets to improve his strength

Powers and Abilities

Dwarven Physiology: As a dwarf, Jordun is resilient to poisons to outright immune

Longevity: Like all dwarves, Jordun can live for centuries

Martial Arts: While rusty compared to how he used to be, Jordun is a capable hand to hand fighter, mastering the Open Hand style. He prefers fighting unarmed and would show mastery in disabling joints from angles he was nowhere near or causing internal injuries with simple strikes. His style is based more from classical karate, sanchin, pressure points, and open palm techniques as well as making his fingers sharp enough to pierce steel

Dirty Tactics: Despite his training, Jordun isn’t above using unusual methods, smashing a man’s head with his own body weight for example

Seductive Sauve?: Jordun has claimed to have bed several women, including a dragon. This is highly… highly debated and considered unreliable despite his claims

Relationships

Aphoelle: Of all the Forsaken, Aphoelle’s the closest he may consider a friend - even though their first meeting included him using her to incite a riot and she tried to get him killed as payback.

Atalanta: (POSSIBLE SPOILER)

Clymene: The daughter to his friend, Jordun was an uncle figure to the young elf, filling her head with stories of his exploits. While Clymene looked up to him, he viewed her as an innocent flower - one that the world always chews up and spits out to leave for dust. He greatly cared for her, and when the Forsaken cornered her, pleaded for her to be left alive.

Trivia

• Jordun’s primary themes are Honest Eyes by Black Tide and Knock Me Down by KATAMALI.

• His primary fighting style is based off of Gensai Kuroki’s Kaiwan Style from Kengan Ashura as well as Baguazhang.

• Jordun was originally going to use the Monk subclass of Way of Long Death. Open Palm was selected instead due to time and preference that it would hint at him being softer than he lets on

• Due to his history with Atalanta, working alongside her in missions, as well as Clymene being shorter than the average Wood Elf, it was rumored that Jordun and Atalanta spent more time "arrow polishing" than believed.

• Like Freya, Jordun's sense of humor is crass and inappropriate. Despite this, he generally would change his tone if he offends others - unlike Freya however, he would find it annoying at first

• Jordun's favorite food is Yulyu Special and Atalanta's fried fish. His favorite drink is a heavy gallon of Gul's Piss - named after the Wolf deity of Alcis.

• Jordun loves detective novels. He actively despises romance novels because they remind him of his wife

• Jordun rarely, if ever, touches upon his past - mostly because he hates remembering it, preferring his tall tales or remembering his days as an adventurer. It's likely not even the Forsaken know his true past - although his claims of bedding a dragon and being known as the Dragon Layer is dubiously possible
