- Enemy of the Telmori

- Originally from the Torkani tribe
A grim reputation follows Leikorl the Shadow, tales of his part in blood feuds and troll-fights that led to his exile from the Torkani tribe.
Keen sighted and with a sharp sense of smell, Leikorl usually scouts ahead, slipping easily through the shadows. With silent footsteps and black-feather fletched arrows, he has taken many of his enemies without even a cry.
Ivartha the Skinner attracted him to her service with the promise of testing his skills against the Telmori. He fought alongside her as a young warrior during the attempt to settle in Torkan's Vale. He was captured when the settlement fell to the Telmori. Most believed him dead. He learned to hate the wolfmen in captivity, after Jogar Sog tortured many of his companions. Leikorl survived.
Leikorl has spent a lot of time scouting Torkan’s Vale and the Wolf Hills for the queen. To the Telmori he is a figure of fear and hatred, taking their kinfolk in the dark of the forest. He killed Sihala Sweet-Laugh, one of the wives of Black-Paws Helkos and still wears her wolf-pelt as a cloak. Her nephew, Ostling Spotted-Fur is the Telmori hostage to the Cinsina — Leikorl makes sure to wear the pelt whenever he meets Ostling.
The Telmori shaman Jogar has offered great rewards for the brave who brings him Leikorl’s head.
Leikorl has a reputation for skulking in the shadows. Many in the clans distrust Leikorl, portraying him as an assassin.
