Bjornolf stands as a monolith of salt-weathered muscle, reaching nearly seven feet in height. His skin is the color of cured leather, mapped with white scars from frostbite and blade alike. His raven black hair is medium length, matted with sea spray and tied with leather thongs, framing a face dominated by obsidian black eyes that seem to absorb the light. He moves with a heavy, deliberate gait that suggests the weight of the mountains he was born beneath, yet his hands are surprisingly well-manicured, his fingernails kept sharp and clean in stark contrast to his blood-stained axe. He carries a massive war axe with a dark ironwood haft and a steel shield etched with glowing blue runes that hum with a low, sub-audible frequency when combat is near.
