===Background & Family Drama===
===Background===
Isgram's comes from a family of hardened Ulfren warriors who follow the mantra of "might makes right". In the time before Gorum's death, the clan was led by his grandfather, Logiram. Logiram is an experienced and ruthless battle mage, mastering both martial combat and elemental prowess. Logiram's sons, Ysmir and Talos, followed there father with boundless faith and belief in their cause. Isgram was trained along side his older cousin Ralof and his older sister Frijosa. The tree were trained to be just as ruthless and unforgiving as their grandfather. This continued for years until the death of Gorum. The gods death cause the entire family to splinter and argue over the direction of the clan. Logiram believed that doubling down on their previous beliefs was the key and that through conquest, they would become the guiding arbiters of a new age of conflict. Talos, driven to nihilism saw no point and was killed for his inaction by Frijosa. Isgram on the other hand argued against this approach. He believed that a more positive approach was necessary to change the wrold for the better. Ralof challenged him and in their duel, Isgram slew his cousin. Enraged by his "betrayal", Logiram banished his grandson and gave him the disgraced title of "Muspel", the jotun word for destroyer. Due to his victory in combat, Logiram allowed Isgram to leave in disgrace, but told him that should any Frostcrown family members or soldiers see him, he is to be seen as an enemy. Isgram, on top of his grander goal, intends to one day challenge and over throw his grandfather once he has grown in both strength and wisdom.

However over the years, he felt no sense of satisfaction or accomplishment in this approach to combat and what he saw as mindless bloodshed, believing there had to be something more to being a Gorumite. This would often lead to arguments with his clan, much to his grandfather's dismay. The arguments would reach a new level on the day of Gorum's death.

With this knowledge, Isgram pleaded to his remaining clan members that they should instead use their skill to help guide other warriors on a more positive trajectory based on self-growth through honing mind, body, and spirit. Ralof scoffed and challenged him for his supposed betrayal. The fight ensued and despite showing mercy to his cousin, Isgram was forced to kill him. Outraged, Logiram banished his grandson, granting him the disgraced name "Muspel", meaning destroyer in the Jotun language. Since Isgram had won the duel, his grandfather had granted a disgraced exile but told him that should any Frostcrown soldiers or clan member see him in the world, he is to be killed as an enemy.
