Berkthgar

Berkthgar was a Reghedman barbarian from the Tribe of the Elk (Icewind Dale) who for a time was the chieftain of Settlestone before returning to become king of his tribe.

Description
The barbarian chieftain had wild brown hair, which fell across his strong shoulders. Berkthgar had muscles the size of dwarf thighs and stood 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m). To add to his imposing presence, the huge human had strikingly blue eyes.

Personality
As leader of Settlestone, Berkthgar lived in the shadow of Wulfgar and wanted Aegis-fang to demonstrate to his people he was the rightful chieftain of the Elk Tribe. He was set in his ways and viewed the dwarves and the residents of the Ten Towns as enemies. He was also "stymied by strong women," namely Catti-brie

Possessions
When in battle, Berkthgar used a great flamberge called Bankenfuere the Northern Fury and wore a fur covered jerkin. The huge 4 ft (1.2 m) bladed sword rested in a leather sheath over his right shoulder.

History
Berkthgar was the son of Beothgin.

In 1357 DR, Berkthgar was an emissary between Settlestone and Mithral Hall who interacted with King Bruenor. Around 1358 DR, Drizzt Do'Urden and Catti-brie traveled to Settlestone to resolve a disagreement Berkthgar had with Bruenor Battlehammer over Wulfgar's warhammer, Aegis-fang.
