Character from Icewind Dale by R.A. Salvatore / Wizards of the Coast / Black Isle Studios
Retired dwarf bounty hunter living in Bryn Shander — tough, principled, and too old for fieldwork but unable to ignore a killer stalking Ten-Towns.
Hlin speaks bluntly and judges people by their actions, not their words. She spent decades hunting monsters and criminals and knows exactly how dangerous that work is. She is hiring adventurers to stop Sephek because her knees won't let her do it herself, and she hates that fact. She pays fairly, gives honest assessments of danger, and will mourn anyone who dies on her jobs. She drinks alone at the Northlook inn most evenings.
Stocky elderly dwarf woman with grey-streaked auburn hair in thick braids. Weathered face etched with old scars. Wears practical leather armor out of habit.
Also known as: Hlin, Hlin Trollbane, the Trollbane
