Arngeir Vaemond

Faceclaim: arngeir

Age; 26

Affiliation: Silver / House Delgado

Bio: Arn grew up in Ceriasus, in his family’s forge that uses dragon’s breath to forge weapons. Though he could withstand the cold and snow, being of Ceriasi blood, he spent his life working in the forge and became accustomed to – and preferred – the heat. As the weapons that his family made are more durable than anything else that could be made in Silver, the Vaemond forge was a rather popular destination for the Fannar household.

And… well, visitors too. That’s where, four (two? whenever it was( years ago, the infamous incident of Joaquin’s dad getting chomped occurred. Arn had no part in orchestrating the event, and actually became irate that his family’s forge was now stained by House Fannar – after years of being bossed around by them. Even further frustrated that his younger siblings had become traumatized by it. After the incident, he decided to kill the dragon that had eaten Joaquin – before that incident, Ceriasus law said it was perfectly legal to slay an animal that ‘endangered human life’. And it’d never mattered, since dragons were so fearsome, revered, and powerful that killing them in such a cold region was nearly impossible and unheard of. But once Arn killed a dragon, something that could really only be done by a weapons specialist such as himself? Ryulia decided to rewrite law and make hurting dragons illegal. And not just illegal, but punishable by death.

Seeing the writing on the wall, Arn packed up and left – and headed right to Helios. He dropped the dragon’s head on the ground and asked for a job. His ability as a weapons specialist was recognized, and he was made Joaquin’s bodyguard – and the fact that Arn’s presence silently infuriated House Fannar was just an added bonus. Of course, Ryulia can’t actively ask House Delgado to extradite him back to Ceriasus, since it was such a loss for the oligarchy to lose Joaquin’s father, and no one should be punished for that if it was truly an accident as House Fannar claims…

Rumor has it that Arn carries at least two dozen weapons in that bag of his. He’s rather good with children and is into juggling, but unfortunately doesn’t exactly care enough about the law enough to stop Joaquin from getting into shenanigans.

The harsh sunlight of Helios is hard on Arn’s eyes and he always wears sunglasses to compensate. And sunblock. Lots and lots of sunblock. He’s very fair and burns like the reddest sunset. Though he actually likes the heat as it reminds him of the forge, he hates the beach and will usually accompany Joaquin looking like a rejected vampire. The joke around Helios is that nothing can beat Arn in a weapons match like sunlight can.

He has several fearsome nicknames in Helios, like ‘Arngeir of Endless Arms’ and ‘Arngeir of Dragon’s Fall’ – but Joaquin calls him ‘Arngeir the Tomato’ after he became very sunburnt his first day on the job.
