Guthewulfe Henghelm

Guthewulfe Henghelm was a traveling Uthgardt barbarian trader from the region of Icewind Dale, active in the early 14 century DR.

"Heh... I may not look the part, but a trader's heart I have. I enjoy barter, almost as much as the sounds and smells of the rivers I ply. Besides... townsmen merchants fear to cheat so fierce a man, you see? Hah-hah!"

Personality
Guthewulfe Henghelm was a friendly and boisterous man who eagerly invited strangers to share a drink with him and participated in drinking competitions with anyone, except dwarves, due to the Stout Folk's resilience when dealing with hard liquor.

Possessions
The barbarian merchant carried a selection of quality iron arms to trade with, as well as a special barbarian drink called braehg. Guthewulfe also wore an enchanted silver howling wolf charm that allowed him to summon a gray wolf ally. He won the magic charm from his cousin's husband in a drinking game and had been using it as a lucky charm since then. Guthewulfe was willing to bet the charm against a good competitive drinker.

History
In the, the Legion of the Chimera targeted the Ten Towns and besieged the town of Targos, menacing it with an army of goblins. Guthewulfe traveled up the Shaengarne to trade with Targos and settled in the The Salty Dog Tavern, merrily drinking when the town became flooded by the Legion's goblin attackers. The creatures somehow infiltrated the docks, avoiding the palisades and fortifications altogether. As the attack raged outside, Guthewulfe Henghelm refused to believe such preposterous claims that goblins were attacking the docks, as he'd not heard a signal horn from the palisades or defenders' call to arms. On top of that, when Guthewulfe entered besieged Targos, he refused to aid the town's defenses and freeze his behind up on the palisades. The result of the refusal was an order that forbade the barbarian to unsheathe his axe while within the walls of the settlement. Guthewulfe Henghelm's code of honor demanded the barbarian obey the promise he's given.
