Elstan is tall, grey eyed and gaunt, resembling nothing so much as an old wolf. He is not a young man any more, but age has not undone him as yet.

He wears a bright suit of Dwarven-mail and carries an ancient shield engraved with potent runes called the Aegis of Dale.

Background:

Among the first to swear loyalty to King Bard, Elstan is a widely famed, and beloved, warrior. Ever at the forefront of battles and swift to offer aid to beset farmers, Elstan spends almost as much time in the Upper Marches as he does in Dale. Elstan commands the Royal Barracks and sets the example that many of the Royal Archers strive to emulate. Ironically, he’s only a passing archer, but he is a master swordsman.

Elstan always keeps an eye out for those he deems to be both “trouble” and “useful sorts”. He’ll wryly note when asked that they are often one and the same. He occasionally directs companies that he trusts towards, “rumours and such that need looking into”.

The First Captain of Dale is a marked contrast to the Dragon-slayer. Where Bard is taciturn, Elstan is garrulous; where Bard is grim, Elstan is frequently cheerful.
