Background

Aelfred is a smith; his father was a smith; his grandfather was a smith; his great-grandfather was a smith, and his son will be a smith.



Description

Aelfred is a stockily built man with a bushy red beard and blue eyes. He has a kindly and humble way, but a ferocious temper which very rarely gets away with him. He likes children and one thing mostly likely to set his temper off is seeing children being mistreated.

He works in the smithy with the help of his son, who has turned out to be a fine apprentice.
