Colson

Colson is the adopted daughter of Wulfgar and Delly Curtie who Wulfgar saved from the small town of Auckney. She was originally the daughter of Meralda Auck, Lady of Auckney. Meralda claimed that she was raped by Wulfgar and that the child was his, though in truth, it belonged to the charismatic Jaka Sculi who had sired it shortly before Meralda was to be married. Feeling guilty she helped Wulfgar escape the dungeons of castle Auck.

Wulfgar, having discovered the reality of the child's heritage, came back to Auckney several months later to see what had become of the brave woman and her child. Seeing that the child's life was in danger from a weak willed Lord, and his bitter sister, Wulfgar rescued her, promising Meralda that he would treat her as his own. Eventually he raised the child with Delly.

When Colson was a toddler, Delly was killed after being controlled by Khazid'hea to fight with Orcs. She had entrusted Colson to a refugee from Shallows named Cottie Cooperson who took the girl from Mithral Hall to Silverymoon and then to Nesmé where Cottie claimed her as her daughter. Cattie-brie and Wulfgar discovered her location and went to Nesmé to retrieve Colson. They succeeded, but Wulfgar had already decided to travel to Icewind Dale, a place not suited for him to be at all able to raise her. Instead, he took her back to Auckney where, after a brief confrontation with Lord Feringal, Wulfgar left her to be raised by her real mother.
