Backstory
Wulfred was an old sailor from somewhere in the Empire. He spent a number of years sailing and trading various goods, including slaves, acting as muscle. However he grew disillusioned with the life and retired, settling down and writing about his adventures. His books did not sell well and he came to the Western Isles intent on gaining more stories to tell and achieving some life long goals.

Before his death he told the story of how his arm was burned. According to him, a fire elemental, summoned by an irate countryman of the slaves they were hauling, grappled him, pinning him to the dirt. As the fire burned the skin off his arm, he was cursed by the mage, forcing forever pain upon him. Wulfred would frequently call upon this pain to enter a state of rage, allowing him to ignore most other pain.

No one knows how he lost his foot or why he seemed to sweat sea water.
