Pendrag was a warrior of the Unberogen tribe, a sword-brother and close friend of Sigmar. [1a]

Appearance

Tall with red hair the colour of the setting sun and favoured a cloak of shimmering green scales. [1a]

History

Pendrag was the first of his tribe to successfully forge a iron sword following the instructions of Alaric the Mad ad he and the finest craftsmen worked with the Dwarf to produce a water-powered bellows for his forge. [1d]

He was the banner bearer for Sigmar at the Battle of Astofen Bridge. [1b]

After his victory over the orcs at Astofen, Sigmar gathered his sword-brothers, Wolfgart and Pendrag at the Oathstone of Reikdorf and told them of the vision he had had on his Dooming day. The three swore an oath together to create the united empire he had seen. [1c]

Sigmar tasked Pendrag with training the other smiths of the Unberogens how to create iron weapons and armour, enough to equip all their weapons. [1d] He created a rudimentary written language based on the simple script and tally marks of traders as well as elements of the Dwarf language. As King Björn prepared to march on the invading Norsii, with Sigmar and Wolfgart he helped organise the logistical train needed for an army in the field. [1e]

When Sigmar led the armies of the Unberogen, Cherusen and Taleutens against the Norse in the spring he protested against the mass salughter and burning of the enemy vessels as they tried to flee. [1f] Later, whilst fighting against the Thuringians he lost three fingers on his left hand to an axe strike but did not let Sigmar's banner fall. [1f]
