The ice speaks to me, its truth undeniable. I am but its vessel, and through me, the frozen world will be reborn.

— Kaltor Icevein

Age: 73

Race: Human

Occupation: Leader of the Icebound Cult, Prophet of the Frostspire

Physical Description

Kaltor Icevein is a gaunt, imposing figure, his pallid skin tinged with an unnatural bluish hue, as if the frost itself courses through his veins. His piercing, icy-blue eyes burn with a fanatical intensity, and his white, frost-rimed hair hangs in disheveled strands around his face.

He wears dark ceremonial robes adorned with jagged shards of ice and glowing runes, giving him an ethereal, almost otherworldly appearance. A jagged staff, Frostpiercer, carved from an ancient glacial shard, serves as both his weapon and symbol of his power.

Personality

Kaltor is a charismatic and driven leader, capable of inspiring unwavering loyalty in his followers. His deep, resonant voice carries an almost hypnotic quality, allowing him to sway crowds to his cause. While calm and composed on the surface, his fanaticism runs deep, and he shows no hesitation in sacrificing others—or himself—for what he sees as the Frostspire’s divine will.

He is a shrewd strategist, using both fear and devotion to manipulate his followers and outmaneuver his enemies. Despite his ruthlessness, he genuinely believes his cause is righteous and destined to bring about the tundra’s salvation.

History

Born in a small, isolated village near the Frostspire, Kaltor’s early life was marked by hardship and tragedy. At the age of 12, his village was destroyed by marauding frost wraiths, leaving him as the sole survivor. Wandering the frozen wastes, he claimed to have experienced a divine vision at the base of the Frostspire, where the ice itself spoke to him, revealing his destiny as its chosen prophet.

Over the decades, Kaltor amassed a following of outcasts, zealots, and those disillusioned by Frosthaven’s leadership. He established the Icebound Cult, a fanatical order devoted to the Frostspire and its enigmatic power. Under his guidance, the cult has grown into a formidable force, spreading its influence across the tundra.

Kaltor’s ultimate goal is to unlock the Frostspire’s deepest secrets, believing it holds the power to reshape the frozen world and bring about a new age of ice-bound purity.
