Yar is a towering Goliath with slate grey skin and a massive, muscular build. He wears heavy, polished plate armor that covers his entire body except for his left shoulder. This exposed shoulder reveals stone-like skin densely tattooed with intricate elven runes that glow with a faint blue light when he exerts himself.

Yar is stoic and disciplined, speaking only when necessary and usually in a clipped, military fashion. Having been raised by elves, he possesses an incongruous sense of grace and appreciation for order that contrasts with his brute strength. He finds peace in the maintenance of his gear and the execution of tactical maneuvers.

Yar was found as an infant in the smoldering ruins of his mountain home, the lone survivor of a frost giant raid. He was taken in by a company of Elven rangers who chose to raise him as a frontline ward. They could not teach him the delicate arts of their kin, so they instead taught him the heavy discipline of the soldier and bound his Goliathan strength with protective runes. He was never truly an elf, but he is no longer a wild mountain dweller either. He wears his armor like a second skin to feel secure, but leaves his rune-marked shoulder bare as a sign of his unique heritage and the magic that keeps his rage in check. Yar now travels the world as a disciplined mercenary, searching for the giants who stole his original life while serving as a steel wall for those he calls allies.
