Brastynbold Elphaendim

Brastynbold "Oldhelm" Elphaendim was a member of the noble merchant House Elphaendim of Arrabar in the Vilhon Reach in the late 14 century DR.

Description
Brastynbold was an extremely tall and muscular man with a chest as big as a wine barrel. He had immense strength that was barely contained in his huge body. He accidentally roughhoused people with a mere handshake or a kiss of a lady's hand.

Personality
Brastynbold's temperament was the almost complete opposite of his uncle's, Elphaendim family patriarch – Thalammose Elphaendim. Oldhelm Elphaendim was a loud and exuberant individual who loved brawls almost as much as he loved wine.

History
Brastynbold "Oldhelm" Elphaendim had a boisterous reputation in the city of Arrabar. One story that was quite popular in the noble circles was the incident when Oldhelm witnessed a thief in his estate. After ingesting a full keg of firewine, the bear of a man hurled his greatsword at the criminal across the family's sizable courtyard. The sword impaled the thief to the estate's wall as he tried to scale it to escape.

On Tarsakh 13 of the, Oldhelm Elphaendim attended Emriana Matrell's grand sixteenth birthday celebration, along with his uncle, Thalammose, and the patriarch's great-niece Cauvra Elphaendim. Brastynbold was present at the party and, along with other guests, witnessed an assassination attempt at the matriarch of House Matrell – Hetta Matrell.
