Brastynbold "Oldhelm" Elphaendim was a member of the noble merchant House Elphaendim of Arrabar in the Vilhon Reach in the late 14th century DR.[1]
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.[1]
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.[1]
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.[1]
On Tarsakh 13 of the Year of the Helm, 1362 DR, 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.[2]
