The tundra is not our enemy. It is a riddle, and only those with the courage to seek its truth will endure

— Velkar Frostborne

Age: 87 (though he appears in his early 60s due to his mastery of Glacial Magic)

Race: Human

Occupation: Archmage of Frosthaven, Keeper of the Frostspire

Appearance

Velkar Frostborne is a tall, imposing figure with snow-white hair and ice-blue eyes that glow faintly with arcane power. Pale skin and frostbite scars mark his hands. He wears shimmering robes adorned with snowflake patterns and carries a crystalline staff tipped with a shard of ice.

Personality

Coldly analytical and ambitious, Velkar prioritizes knowledge above all else, even at great risk. While dedicated to Frosthaven, he struggles with interpersonal relationships. He views the tundra as a puzzle to be solved and respects its power.

History

Born in Frosthaven, Velkar exhibited exceptional magical talent. He excelled at the Academy of the Frostspire, eventually discovering an ancient rune that granted him immense power. This earned him the title of Archmage, but also raised suspicion among his peers. He now dedicates himself to expanding Frosthaven's defenses and exploring the tundra's magic, though his methods remain controversial.
