Born of Grimhall and married into Darkwater, neither of the Houses which claimed the loyaly of Lord Wulfrum had particularly sunny reputations. This was fine as Wulfrum did not grow up a sunny lad nor become a particularly optimistic Lord in his maturity. Born outside of the ruling line Wulfrum was raised in the traditional customs of the Mourning Isles. He was one of many, not yet proven to be worthy of his House. Even at a young age the man had a competitive streak leading to confrontations with cousins and siblings. It showed his ambition but such unlordly behaviour was soon 'corrected' leading to less boasting and shoving to more productive means of competitiveness. Eventually Wulfrum was old enough to sail, to fight, to prove his worth to Grimhall! Only to be selected for a political marriage to Lira Darkwater after returning from a successful subjugation of shavs and boats laden with thralls. Despite the surprise young Wulfrum found appeal in House Darkwater. Not only was Lady Lira Darkwater everything one would expect of an Isle Lady but Darkwater itself had a history of harrying the Saffron Chain and 'unexplained' shav attacks on passing vessels. It was a place that Wulfrum would settle into nicely and so he did for years with the most notable events being the death of his wife during the birth of his son Leiras Darkwater followed some time later by the razing of Darkwater's Reach. Lord Wulfrum Darkwater has come to Arx with a summons from Countess Carita Darkwater on the eve of Crusade with an Eurusi flotilla approaching Arvani waters.

This swarthy skinned man has been seasoned with sea wings and time. Touches of grey to his dark brown hair, a few lines of furrowed brow and severe scowls give the depth to his expressions. His hair is kept long enough to begin taking on a subtle wave, his beard though is kept trimmed to follow a strong lined jaw with a goatee to match. A stocky build accounts for a modest height with broad shoulders, thick limbs and something of a paunch from years of rum no doubt.

Wulfrum is a severe and determined man. One can easily see the years of living under Donrai as High Lord of Thrax have tempered him into a prototypical noble from those bygone days. Not one to invite levity or familiarity from others, Wulfrum is at least non-confrontational about his traditional preferences.
