Beorn Grayweald
Royal Verderer of the Great Forest, Beorn Grayweald, (a.k.a. "Old Bear")
After many long years of faithful service as a soldier in the king's army and later as Verderer of the Great Forest, Beorn Grayweald retired with the hopes of living out his remaining days in the woods he called home. However, the Earthmother was not done with old Beorn and awoke in him gifts of natural magic, wanderlust and renewed life. It is these gifts that have brought him through the Portal to explore the uncharted wilderness beyond.
Although age has slowed him down and made him thick around the gut, Beorn, or "Old Bear" as his friends call him, is as strong as men half his age and a loyal and fierce protector of those he finds worthy.
