Out here, the ice tests us all. Those who falter become a memory; those who endure carve their names into the frost.

— Isen Dray

Age: 29

Race: Human

Occupation: Wanderer and Icebound Tracker

Physical Description

Isen Dray is a wiry, sharp-featured man with short, unkempt black hair and pale skin marked by scars from years of survival in the tundra. His piercing green eyes carry a look of constant vigilance, and his hands are calloused from wielding weapons and tools alike.

He wears a patchwork of weathered furs and leathers, built more for practicality than style, with a hood lined in white wolf fur. Strapped across his back is a gleaming icebow, an artifact he discovered during his travels, capable of firing arrows of pure frost.

Personality

Isen is reserved and independent, preferring the solitude of the wilderness to the bustle of cities. While he has a gruff exterior, those who earn his trust find a deeply loyal companion willing to go to great lengths to protect them. He values survival, resourcefulness, and honesty, and has little patience for arrogance or wastefulness.

While he speaks few words, his actions often convey his feelings. Isen carries a strong moral compass but is not above making hard decisions to ensure survival.

History

Born in a small fishing village along the Shard Sea, Isen’s early years were marked by tragedy when a rogue Froststalker pack destroyed his home. He survived by sheer luck, rescued by a wandering Icebound Tracker who took him in and taught him the skills needed to survive in the frozen wilderness.

By 17, Isen had become a skilled tracker and hunter, renowned for his ability to navigate the tundra’s most treacherous terrain. During an expedition to Glacier’s Edge, he stumbled upon an ancient ruin buried in ice, where he discovered the Icebound Bow, a relic of immense power that bonded to him. This discovery brought him unwanted attention, forcing him to stay on the move to avoid those who would exploit his gift.

Now, Isen roams the tundra, offering his tracking skills to those in need while searching for the truth behind the artifact he carries.
