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 Fjord as handsome.

Personality
Fjord is described as the strong silent type, and he 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 he thinks people should do what they say they're going to do.

Fjord is also adept at acting, having used his talents in changing his voice and accent and his magical abilities to alter his appearance to get the party out of multiple sticky situations.

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 in Rexxentrum, the trio (Fjord, Jester, and Beau) saved the daughter of Reynaldo (a fisherman in Trostenwald) 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 they asserted that their relationship had been platonic.

Jester was also thoroughly impressed with how well Fjord can change his voice and accent. While Beau was out buying some cheap wine, Jester pulled the warlock aside and told him that she liked all of his voices, including his original one. This appeared to make Fjord glad and elated.

Beauregard
Beauregard and Fjord met a day or two before the events of. 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 intrigued by Caleb's wizardry, as he's interested in learning more magic himself. Fjord is allergic to Caleb's cat, Frumpkin.

Quests
