Waterdeep

A male human fighter with broad shoulders, Buldos is in his late 60s, sporting a long, greying beard tied at the end in a ring of iron. His gravelly voice matches his cold, unwavering eyes. He typically wears riding leathers over noble tabards, preferring plain clothing marked only by his house’s ram crest.

Pragmatic, stubborn, and principled, Buldos leads his house with the same intensity he once brought to the battlefield. He is a traditionalist, believing in the old values of strength, honor, and hard work. He disdains political games but knows when to play them—usually with a blunt threat or unflinching stare rather than subtlety. Despite his gruff exterior, he has great pride in his family’s craft and legacy, especially the sheep-breeding and mint cheese trade that turned a mercenary house into landed nobility.

A veteran of several border wars and caravan conflicts, Buldos earned the moniker 'The Ram of Veldarhall' after holding a mountain pass for three days against gnoll raiders. After retiring to Waterdeep, he transitioned from soldier to statesman, establishing the family's villa and urban holdings while leaving the running of the ranches to younger kin. Buldos personally led a small mercenary band in his youth and is rumored to have once been offered a Masked Lord seat—he refused, citing 'too many masks and not enough axes.'
