Character: Olaf Cole


  • Olaf is one of the founding members of the Kingdom of Tridon and one of Peter's core friends. The son of a fisherman that left the coast with his family for reasons Olaf never knew, he was new to farming when they came to the village of Stormvale. Peter was the first friend the shy boy had there and Olaf tagged after him from that moment on. He was a fine net maker and loved that Peter gave him a home on the coast when the Kingdom of Tridon was born.

  • Olaf was human, seventy one when he died, five foot eight inches in height and a slim one hundred and fifty pounds wet. He was rail thin and better suited for a ship then a suite of armor, which tended to just slide off him in most cases. His face was oval and long, he wore a long mustache in his older age but never a beard. (They were too itchy for him.)

  • Olaf's complexion was pale with a farmer's tan, his eyes brown, almost hazel. His hair was brown/black which he kept short or in a small ponytail. It grayed as he got older. Olaf wore cut off pants, baggy white shirt of muslin and rarely wore shoes, even as a Leader. Usually he only wore shoes for formal occasions or on the battlefield. He talked with his friends and relatives but was shy with unknown peers. He did love to chat with children and opened up with them freely. He loved fishing and could talk a man's ears off about the subject if given the chance.

  • If the characters in Cole right after Tridon is founded they might find Olaf fishing at the docks or in a small row boat. If they want to talk about fishing, he'll talk with them until the cows come home.
