| Male | Yes | [[:skyss:chars:godbloods|Godbloods]] / [[:skyss:chars:rojden|Rojden]] | [[:skyss:places:bot|BoT]] Agent | Adult | [TBD] |

===== Stories/Function =====

Ormrun serves as a primary antagonist and deep-cover operative within the [[:skyss:places:osnines|Continent of Osnines]]. His professional function is to manage the [[:skyss:places:bot|Board of Trade]] outpost in [[:skyss:places:riggin_dale|Riggin Dale]], a location known for its high volume of cattle and horse traffic. In the narrative of **//[[:skyss:Fierce]]//**, he acts as a functional trap for agents of the [[:skyss:chars:resolutions|Department of Resolutions]]. He is tasked with monitoring the Great North Road to locate the "special package" (the hero foundling [[:skyss:chars:noren|Noren]]) and his "abductors." His presence illustrates the extent to which Rojden has subverted official Skyssian institutions to facilitate his rise to power.


===== Description =====

Ormrun is a blond man characterised by a moustache and a dark blue jacket, which denotes his official status. Physically, he is noted for an insistent and overly direct demeanour that borders on the suspicious. He operates out of a two-storey blue building near the docks in [[:skyss:places:riggin_dale|Riggin Dale]], where he maintains a discussion space for entertaining visitors with ale, milk, and fresh water. While he presents the image of a diligent civil servant, his true loyalties lie with a clandestine heroic faction, and he is constantly on the lookout for opportunities to improve his political standing.

===== Personal Life =====

Ormrun is a veteran of the internal conflicts of the [[:skyss:chars:heroes|Heroes]], maintaining a secret and permanent loyalty to the Godbloods faction following the [[:skyss:chars:schism|Great Schism]]. During the southern campaign, he encountered [[:skyss:chars:yngvild|Yngvild the Fierce]] and [[:skyss:chars:inibrakemi|Inibrakemi Funeresdottir]] at the [[:skyss:places:riggin_dale:wheel|Wheel Inn]]. Recognising them as Skyssians, he attempted to uncover their mission through persistent questioning.

However, Ormrun was successfully outmanoeuvred by Inibrakemi, who used her shapeshifting abilities to pose as a male agent named "Sven." Believing he was speaking to fellow operatives of the same "common master," Ormrun divulged his standing orders to track a young man matching Noren's description. This lapse in operational security highlights his eagerness to coordinate with those he perceives as allies in the Godbloods cause. He remains a dangerous presence in the south, likely to coordinate with Cottalemnese cavalry units to secure the region.
