Eadred Osferth
A large overweight man in his mid thirties Eadred looks every bit a common, if not well fed, villager. His portly presence would almost be jolly, if he wasn't holding a warhammer.
Appearance
Eadred stands tall, his above-average height matched by a significant weight that manifests predominantly in his midsection and face, giving him a rotund appearance. While his facial features are unremarkable, two scars on the right side of his face, tracing from his lip to his cheekbone, add character to his countenance. Most notable, however, is his prominent "double" chin.
His attire reflects practicality and a makeshift quality. He wears a padded brigandine over a simple tunic, with a cheap, undersized cuirass serving as belly armor to protect his midsection. A hooded quarter cloak drapes over his shoulders, while a fabric-covered chainmail coif shields his bald head.
Simple drawstring pants clothe his legs, accompanied by thigh armor and a codpiece for lower body protection. A plain leather belt cinches the upper and lower halves of his outfit together, adorned with various pouches, utility knives, and hooks to hold his weapons and equipment.

Skills and Abilities
Butcher - A butcher by trade, Eadred has dedicated years to the craft of slaughtering, dressing, and portioning animals. While he may not be considered elite in his profession, his skills are more than proficient. Through his extensive experience in dismembering, he has gained a notable level of anatomical knowledge, understanding how to manipulate joints, cut flesh, and exploit weak points with precision.
Brute - Large and heavy, Eadred lead a life of hard labor. Despite his rotund appearance, he conceals a considerable amount of muscle beneath his exterior, and he possesses the expertise to wield it effectively. A true bruiser, Eadred is a force to be reckoned with in close combat, effortlessly overpowering even better-trained adversaries through sheer physical prowess.
Fighter - Accustomed to wielding the cleaver and the axe in his trade, Eadred swiftly transitioned to his weapon of choice: a warhammer. Though lacking formal training, his extensive experience serves him well. Eadred relies on his weight, momentum, and underhanded tactics to gain the upper hand against most adversaries. However, when confronted with a truly skilled opponent, his limited endurance and inadequate grasp of footwork become glaring weaknesses, easily exploitable in battle.

Equipment
Warhammer - Weighing in at four pounds and measuring 44 inches in length. Crafted for a specific purpose, it strikes a balance between armor destruction and effectiveness against flesh. The solid head features small "claw" protrusions, designed not for deep piercing but for grappling and hooking heavily armored opponents. The downward-curving pick on the back serves a similar purpose, facilitating close-quarters combat.
Primarily intended for delivering blunt impact, the head boasts a large flat surface area, ideal for delivering devastating blows. Its wooden haft is complemented by a small counterweight at the bottom, enhancing balance and maneuverability. Not content with its original design, Eadred has made modifications over time, including the addition of a crude spike to the "pommel," likely intended for close combat and inflicting further damage a dirty brawl.

Personality
Eadred is characterized by his lack of education, crude demeanor, and penchant for indulgence. Born into poverty and raised in squalor, he has faced hardships throughout his life, which have left him lethargic and unmotivated. Comfort and convenience often dictate his decisions, leading him to seek the path of least resistance, even though it seldom proves easy in the end.
While Eadred is laden with vices, he possesses a modicum of virtue. Despite his flaws, he is not inherently cruel or sadistic. Given the choice between aiding or harming others, he typically leans towards assistance, provided the effort required and the reward remain equitable.
In truth, Eadred's existence is straightforward, devoid of deep contemplation or extensive worldly knowledge. He navigates life primarily through instinct, much like others in his circumstances. As a result, he finds himself entrenched in a lifestyle marked by criminality, gambling, and excessive consumption, rendering him a familiar yet forgettable presence to most.
