Eldeth Battlehammer

Backstory
Here's what I'd like you to do: you have two character traits, an ideal, a flaw and a bond. Invent a few sentences for each one that shows a significant event in your character’s life that ties into that Trait, either explaining it or exemplifying it.

Here's an example (courtesy of the theangrygm.com):

I’ve lost too many friends, I’m slow to make new ones… Shortly after I was conscripted, the hobgoblin war reached Eraz and my legion was sent to the front lines. At the time, I was excited to go into battle for real. And I was just pleased to have gotten through training. It had been a miserable, lonely experience except for the fact that I met Kyrie, Wael, Dale, and Arvan there. We became inseparable. Kyrie kept me from fleeing from the camp and becoming a deserter. Dale and Arvan got me through training. Wael kept all of our spirits up with his bawdy jokes and songs. I was actually proud of my armor, my pike, my sword. I was a soldier. And I was ready to run some foul goblins through. And they ambushed us before we even got to camp, while we were exhausted from the days of forced marching. Their brutality was shocking and their precision terrifying. They were perfect soldiers, perfect killers, disciplined, cold, savage. The last thing Dale ever did, the last help he ever gave me, was to get his head caved in by a mace that was meant for my skull. I never saw what happened to Arvan and Kyrie was never found. But Wael survived. And that was worse. He had taken a horrible blow, bitten through his tongue, and he would never speak again. Taking his voice was worse than taking his life would have been. And I was alone again.

That's a really, really long example, but you get the idea.
