Fjord

Fjord (pronounced "Ford") is a Half-Orc Warlock. He is played by Travis Willingham.

Appearance
Fjord wears beat-up leathers and piecemeal armor put together. He has a big scar across his face and green skin tone. His face changes to a lighter green complexion from his cheekbones down to his neck. Both Jester and Beauregard have described him as handsome.

Personality
Fjord is described as the strong silent type, and tends to keep a cool and rational outlook. He is also very charismatic. Though he has no problem breaking rules when needed, he seems to operate under certain principles of honor, claiming that he tries to be honest, and thinks people should do what they say they're going to do.

Background
Fjord comes from Port Damali on the Menagerie Coast where he worked as a sailor. That's also where he met Jester.

Pre-Stream
Traveling along the Amber Road, on their way to study magic at the Soltrice Academy, the trio (Fjord, Jester, and Beau) saved the daughter of Reynaldo (the fisherman in Trostenwold) from a giant snake.

Jester
Fjord and Jester met in Port Damali, a little while before encountering the rest of the party. Jester called Fjord very handsome and Nott believed that they were romantically involved, but their relationship is platonic so far.

Beauregard
They met a day or two before the events of Curious Beginnings. By the time they met the rest of the party, the pair already had a decent rapport and some level of trust between them.

Caleb Widogast
Fjord is very intrigued by Caleb's wizardry, as he's interested in learning more magic himself. Fjord is allergic to Caleb's cat, Frumpkin.
