Born in the perpetual twilight of the northern reaches, the Glacier Keeper emerged from an ancient lineage of ice-shapers who have guarded the frozen walls since the First Winter. When the great frost claimed their family during a devastating storm, they underwent the sacred Ritual of Frost Binding, merging their essence with the ancient ice. Their flesh became translucent like glacier ice, with intricate patterns of crystalline formations growing naturally across their skin. The transformation granted them the ability to commune with the ancestral spirits trapped within the ice, becoming both guardian and chronicler of the frozen memories held within the glacial depths.

The Glacier Keeper embodies the stoic resilience of the eternal ice, maintaining a calm, methodical demeanor that mirrors the slow but inexorable movement of their glacial charges. They possess an otherworldly patience, often standing motionless for days while listening to the whispers of the ice. Their speech patterns follow the crystalline structure of ice - sharp, clear, and precisely formed. Though seemingly cold to outsiders, they harbor a deep reverence for the preservation of history and demonstrate unexpected warmth when sharing ancient tales with those who earn their trust. Their most distinctive trait is their habit of tracing frost patterns in the air while deep in thought, leaving temporary ice sculptures floating in their wake.
