SupportingA burly and beefy man with a powerful frame honed by leadership and combat, Fatren carries the rough, commanding presence of a survivor in a harsh ash-covered world.

Saved by Elend Venture's timely intervention, Fatren transitions from beleaguered defender to sworn lord under the new emperor, marking a pivotal elevation in status during the Hero of Ages' apocalyptic reckoning.
