Name: Blödhgarm
Age: 55
Race: Elf
Appearance: Blödhgarm is quite unlike any of the other elves seen amongst the Varden. Standing at 6'2" makes him cut a rather notable figure. Yet that is not what sets him apart--not even being an elf does so. Blödhgarm has the fangs of a wolf, a blue-black pelt that resembles that of a forest cat and eyes like an eagle's in color--golden. His fur is found eerie and yet beautiful. Something about him seems attractive to women. The hackles on the back of his neck raise like a wolf's when fighting, angry or upset. He sports a tail with a tuft at the end that is black, while the fur of it is the same blue-black as the rest of his fur. He has clawed hands and feet and his build is very toned yet wiry like a lean wolf or feline. He wears black leather much like Arya though his shirt is a 'vest' that laces up in the front with a leather tie. He also sports a wolf fang on a leather cord about his neck and his hair is jet black and long. Really he is in a class all his own. His scent has been described as a musk. It seems to attract females though it had no effect on Arya and Nasuada and Elva were able to think of horehound and thereby ignore it. Later Nasuada had a spell put on her by Trianna that negated her from having to think of horehound while near him yet it has not altered the effect his scent has on other females.
Personality: Blödhgarm is a powerful spellcaster amongst his people. This is indicated by the fact that he is the leader of the group of twelve spellcasters sent to protect Eragon. While he is young by elven standards he spent the better part of his life learning swordplay and magic and excels in both.
He is not so serious as Arya or some other elves are wont to be. He has a more ready smile and laugh than many and seems to be moderately social in nature. Still he is an enigma as are all elves and is considered more serious and aloof than most humans would be. It is not known whether his scent is purposefully done to attract a potential mate or if it is just an after effect that came when he altered his appearance so. It is not something anyone has dared to inquire about and if he notes the way women swoon and show an interest in him he does not say nor show it.
Blödhgarm takes his job of guarding Eragon and Saphira seriously. It was their primary job as a group to guard the last remaining rider and yet now that other riders have shown themselves he finds himself leading the group on behalf of the Varden more than on behalf of merely a single rider and dragon. His loyalty to his people and defeating Gallbatorix is well known and he has proven himself in battle time and time again. He seems more indifferent than many to the addition of the Urgals and Kull into the Varden's numbers and while he is often seemingly wary and wise beyond his elven years he treats everyone as equal. In battle he kills as mercifully as possible and is a force to be reckoned with. There have been whispers amongst the people of him potentially making a suitable candidate to be a rider. He simply seems to ignore them as with anything else. What will be, will be.
History: Blödhgarm was born after the fall of the riders and is only approximately half as old as Arya. He was born to Ildrid the Beautiful and indeed by his appearance beauty is something he appreciates. Growing up he was always altering little things here or there about himself as soon as he learned how. Often they were minor things like spots or stripes, mostly his eyes. When he reached the age of thirty-three years he decided on a form that was pleasing to him: the one he now wears. It seems to have stuck with him and there is no indication he will change it.
He studied magic and swordplay for many years and was respected by his fellow elves for his loyalty to Islanzadi and his prowess in both magic and blade mastery. It was for this reason that he was chosen to be leader of the group of twelve elves sent to the Varden to guard Eragon and Saphira. He took his duty very seriously and upon the day of his arriving he has always been alongside the pair in whichever battle might arise. As new riders were discovered and made he and his group spread out amongst the riders more. Blödhgarm, however, was usually seen supporting the original pairing he was sent to protect and aid; Eragon and Saphira seemed to be the ones he would give magical and battle aiding to most. Yet when needed he will gladly fight by the Varden or another rider and dragon.
There has been murmurings about the possibility of Blödhgarm becoming a rider and yet he ignores them. The dragon chooses the rider, not the rider the dragon. And so he continues to fight alongside the Varden and already made dragon pairings.
