A powerful champion of the Tower of the North, the Jotun added decorations and trophies of his own, including a great rug made from the hide of a [[Mundane_beasts#Mammoths\|mammoth]], several vicious warhammers, and a number of Imperial standards captured during the war in the Mournwold. The champion apparently died during the attack by Imperial heroes to help reclaim Orchard's Watch, and these trophies were left behind when the Jotun withdrew.
