Eldrid Thorn, a man in his late thirties, bears the scars of a life marred by tragedy. His once vibrant village was reduced to ashes during a brutal war, leaving him an orphan with a heart filled with both sorrow and a burning desire for vengeance. Eldrid's physical appearance reflects his tumultuous life; his dark hair is streaked with premature gray, and his eyes, a piercing shade of green, seem to hold the weight of his lost world. A jagged scar runs down his left cheek, a permanent reminder of the day he lost everything. His attire consists of worn leather armor, patched in several places, and a cloak that has seen better days, yet he carries himself with a quiet dignity that speaks of his resilience.

Eldrid's unique trait is his habit of carving small wooden figures when lost in thought, a skill he learned from his father before the war. Each figure represents a memory or a dream, a way for him to hold onto the remnants of his past. His journey is driven by a deep-seated need to rebuild his village and honor the memory of his parents, who were killed in the conflict. However, the warlords who destroyed his home still hold power, making his quest seem impossible. Undeterred, Eldrid joins a band of rebels, using his cunning and the skills he honed in the wilderness to strike at the warlords' forces.

His strategy works because of his intimate knowledge of the land and his ability to inspire hope in others. Yet, the path is fraught with danger, and Eldrid faces internal conflicts as he grapples with the morality of his actions. The war has left him with a deep mistrust of authority and a willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, even if it means crossing lines he once thought he would never cross. As he navigates this treacherous landscape, Eldrid must confront the possibility that his quest for revenge might consume him, turning him into the very thing he despises. In the end, his journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, but also a cautionary tale about the cost of vengeance.
