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.
