Artem Wenslow is a sheep farmer that lives in the hamlet of Beckley, just south of Reedenford. He is a simple and hot-headed man that cares deeply for his family.
In Iron 989, a hellbeck that had taken up residence in a nearby forest began terrorizing the Wenslow sheep farm, eating much of Artem's herd. Artem was exacerbated by his son Orin was also taken by the creature. Having not seen the beast himself, Artem became convinced that it was a werewolf, and melted down the family's heirlooms to fashion a silver-tipped pitchfork to confront it. Upon the arrival of 3 members of the Clover Company, Artem backed down. When the guild returned with the body of the hellbeck, Artem was relieved that the threat was taken care of, but remorseful that there was no trace of his missing son.
