Ormrun serves as a primary antagonist and deep-cover operative within the Continent of Osnines. His professional function is to manage the Board of Trade outpost in Riggin Dale, a location known for its high volume of cattle and horse traffic. In the narrative of Fierce, he acts as a functional trap for agents of the Department of Resolutions. He is tasked with monitoring the Great North Road to locate the “special package” (the hero foundling Noren) and his “abductors.” His presence illustrates the extent to which Rojden has subverted official Skyssian institutions to facilitate his rise to power.
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 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.
Ormrun is a veteran of the internal conflicts of the Heroes, maintaining a secret and permanent loyalty to the Godbloods faction following the Great Schism. During the southern campaign, he encountered Yngvild the Fierce and Inibrakemi Funeresdottir at the 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.
