The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Haddvar is a hulking Nord with a broad, muscular frame, standing at 6'3". His arms are thick with muscle, and his hands are calloused from years of working the forge, earning him the nickname "Ironhand." His hair is dark brown, streaked with gray, and tied back in a rough ponytail, while a short, thick beard covers his weathered face. His steel-gray eyes are often narrowed in concentration. He is typically seen wearing a leather apron over a simple tunic, with soot and burn marks a constant feature of his attire.

Haddvar is a man of few words, preferring the steady clang of the forge to idle chatter. Despite his gruff exterior, he is deeply dedicated to his craft and takes pride in every blade, shield, and tool that leaves his forge. Though he has a short temper for poor craftsmanship or disrespect, those who earn his trust find a loyal and dependable friend. Haddvar cares little for politics or social matters, preferring to focus on his work and the quiet satisfaction of creating things that last

Hailing from a long line of blacksmiths in Skyrim, Haddvar left his homeland to make a name for himself outside of the shadow of his family. After years of travel, he settled in Chorrol and opened Fire and Steel. Over the years, Haddvar’s forge has become renowned for producing some of the finest weapons and armor in the region, drawing clients from across Cyrodiil. He has trained a few apprentices, though none have yet lived up to his high standards. Haddvar rarely discusses his past, but his familiarity with combat suggests that he may have once been a soldier or mercenary before dedicating himself fully to the forge.
