Ulfric Frostbeard (Dwarven: Ulfric Azwytrumm) also known as Ulfric "The Uniter", (born Windbreaker) is a dwarven politician and the 33rd elected ruler of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. Born in FA 1573.

Early Life

Born in FA 1573, in the once-capital of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, Kal'Nikaer, only two years after his kin moved to the realm of Axios, Ulfric 'Windbreaker' Frostbeard was a typical dwedki at the time. He found merriment in drink and taverns, saw excitement in brawls and fights and worked alongside his kin in the mines. He sang with his friends Norli Starbreaker and Dhaen Grandaxe in the off-hours and snuck around the capital just for fun. Not much is known of Ulfric past this point however, as he disappeared soon after arriving to Arcas, reappearing nearly 50 or more years later following the Dwarves swift exit of the realm to Almaris. It was here, in Almaris, that his political life in Urguan catapulted.

Sometime after turning 150, Ulfric got his first position in Urguan as a Magistrate of the High Courts. It wouldn't be long after his appointment that he would find himself in the seat of the Lord Justiciar itself, following approval and recommendation from then-Grand King and Ulfric's childhood friend Norli Starbreaker. During his time as Lord Justiciar, he'd come to pass Inquisitor Acts and take hard stances against monsters found within the common folk of the Kingdom. He would sit as Lord Justiciar well past the reign of Norli, until the end of the reign of his friend Levian'Tol Grandaxe, where he would go to throw his name into the ring for the next election of Grand King, beating out his opponent Alaric Grimgold to officially become the 33rd Grand King of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan.
