Captain Valkar Ustar

Valkar is Captain of the Frostguard and second in line for the Ustorian throne, behind his big brother, Fenmar. Valkar is a warrior at heart, with little patience for diplomacy. He embodies brawn over brains, frustrated when he is powerless. He is strong, gruff, rugged, and quiet, often choosing to observe silently rather than open his mouth. Despite the slight distance between them, Valkar looks up to Fenmar as a strong, wise king and brother, and though his way is to barrel ahead, he ALWAYS defaults to Fenmar’s guidance. He is insecure about his intelligence, though he has a shrewd strategic mind and a good head for battle, intimidated by his brother’s clever mind and sure footing. He is fiercely protective of Fenmar, often chiding advisors for arguing with him after he’s left the room and guard-dogging his older brother without his knowledge.

Valkar loves casual sex. He sees natural beauty in everyone and will invite nearly any willing partner to his bed, though he’s never experienced a lasting connection. Outside of the bedroom, he’s cold, showing no favor to previous sexual partners and expecting nothing. New emotions and feelings scare him; he will bury them deep, ignoring them. Once in a relationship, however, he is very protective and doting on his partner, devoted to their safety and comfort. He will act aloof while sneaking little gifts to be later found, clearing obstacles and paths for his partner before they meet them, and threatening anyone who even looks at them wrong. He treats his partner like royalty, awed at their very existence and desire to choose him.

During intimacy, Valkar loves to manhandle his partner. He values their consent and safety above all else. He is a rough dominant focused on his partner’s pleasure, who loves pinning his partner, tossing them, hoisting them, and switching positions. He will cover his partner in lovebites and loves having the same done to him. He particularly enjoys being ridden, however, but he will keep that fact secret from his partner. He loves the taste of his partner and sharing it through kisses, and he will steal his partner away to privacy to bend them over a surface and feast, expecting nothing in return. He takes aftercare very seriously and will bend over backwards to make sure his partner is satisfied and happy.

Valkar’s parents were both legendary heroes. His people have fought to be recognized as a kingdom - their history is a merging of peoples (elves and humans) after a large colony of elves was lost in a terrible storm, taken in by a village of humans. They worked together to survive the long winter, many having fallen in love. Over the generations, their people had become one, and Ustaborg had become a haven for half-elves. The warrior-culture of Ustaborg prevailed, men and women alike taking up arms to protect their kingdom. His older brother, a smaller, wiser man named Fenmar just recently became king following the loss of their elder father. Their mother had passed a few years prior. Now, the brothers only have each other, and Valkar is fiercely protective of Fenmar. He has zero ambition for the throne and loves his role as Captain of the Frostguard, leading Ustaborg’s armies to glory and valor.
