Brom Strongwind

Brom Strongwind was the big baddie in the first session.

Wielding a power gained from blood rituals, he developed the ability to change form, taking the guise of a Dire Wolf. In order to simultaneously gather servants and to prepare eventual sacrifices, he made a habit of killing adults, bewitching children, and transfiguring them into wolves.

Brom has successfully mastered a spell, powered by his own death energy, that allows his disembodied spirit to possess another. After five days of wrestling for control, during which time the victim remains unconscious, Brom will awaken in their body, as powerful as ever. As this spell is self-sustaining through his deaths, the only way to permanently stop him (per Cleric Blackhaze) is through sealing his spirit within an iron flask.

He is preparing a ritual that will require the blood of five innocents, in order to summon forth his god, whose whispers have driven him to such atrocities. It has been heavily implied that this god will take the form of a Metallic Dragon.
