Hafthor Dragonsbane, a towering figure at seven feet and four inches, is a Bugbear barbarian whose life has been marred by a cruel curse. At the tender age of twelve, the sorcerer Aelrich, driven by a twisted love for Hafthor's wife Yishka, cursed him with amnesia. This malevolent spell stripped Hafthor of all memories prior to that fateful day, leaving him to wander the Forgotten Realms without a past. The curse, however, allows him to forge new memories, but they remain locked away until Yishka's death, a grim condition set by Aelrich to watch her demise through Hafthor's eyes.

Despite his cursed state, Hafthor has forged a strong bond with the high elves of the Elven Isles, earning their respect and friendship. His prowess as a warrior was proven when he single-handedly defeated a Goblin King, a feat that cemented his reputation as a formidable fighter. As the chieftain of his tribe, Hafthor's strength and skill as a laborer are unmatched, though his diplomacy leaves much to be desired. His faith in the old gods, Thor and Odin, remains unshaken, and he harbors a deep suspicion that Heimdall has usurped Odin's throne following the god's disappearance.

Hafthor wields a Greataxe, a weapon of great significance as it was once owned by his late father and is adorned with his bones, a symbol of his heritage and a reminder of the life he cannot remember. Driven from his home by the inability to recall the memories he shared with his loved ones, Hafthor now fights for anyone willing to pay him, seeking purpose and a semblance of belonging in a world that feels foreign to him.

His unique trait is a deep, rumbling voice that seems to echo the sorrow of his lost memories, adding a haunting quality to his presence. Hafthor's journey is one of struggle and resilience, as he battles not only external foes but also the internal conflict of a life half-lived, yearning for the day his memories might return and bring him peace.
