Ormund is a hulking Gem Genasi riddled in scathing scars of past battles with the local elemental aberrations, such as the Xorn and Gorgon, which reside within the Northern Greypeak Mountains. Brother to Cyrus Gemblade, the two siblings are descendants of a long lineage of stalwart paladins known as the Gemblades. Devoting their life to the protection of their ancestral home, Gemladur, Ormund along with the other Gemblades remain vigilant for outsider forces which threaten their peoples livelihood. During Ormunds early years within the Gemblades, he notably staved off the Gorgon Bull from rampaging through Gemladur and destroying the settlement. Despite relative success in doing so, he sustained significant injuries with a gaping scar opened across the chest and shoulder, nearly killing him in the process. Recovering from his wounds in time, Ormund continued his paladin oath to protect his people alongside his sister Cyrus.
