Myton

Myton is an Iotun Frost Giant Jarl, a leader of a small tribe of frost giants living in a keep on the top of the winterspine mountains.

Motives
Myton's motives are to protect his people and avoid the eternal conflict between his bloodline and the bloodlines of the Fire Giants. He is seeking for ways to grow his power and influence among the Utgard giants, but has all but relinquished that he will have to grow his tribe before his influence can spread, a task that will take generations - but he is patient.

Temperment
Of all the frost giants, he is the most agreeable to the rest of the civilized world, having had dealings with the Winter Watchers and a few powerful human wizards to help save his people during the Great Purge. Myton is not afraid to murder and kill to get what he wants, or to show his dominance, but does not do so needlessly, and understands that the small folk are not to be so easily discounted as a threat as his giant brothers may do.

He holds a grudge against the Utgard giants as they squander their resources in combating the fire giants, creating wars needlessly, and abandoning their roots as tribal religious people in favor of magitech and social progress. The lack of support from the utgards, stunts Myton's ability to grow his tribe and influence, but his tribe is fanatical in their supporting Myton and his wisdom and leadership.

History
Myton came to power by proving himself with his special magical spiked gauntlets, and rose to power by killing his way to the top through challenging others in test of strength - as is frost giant way.

Unknown to all but himself, Myton's gauntlets were forged by a secret sect of smiths, primarily comprised of dwarves. He obtained these items when he was once an outcast and befriended a dwarf smith who forged for him the legendary gauntlets that granted him great strength.

Resources
Myton possesses a wood and iron walled village on the northernmost peak across the Ice fields of the Winterspine Mountains. He has no less than 2 dozen warriors at his disposal at any given time as well as the ability to make arms and armor (non-magical) and has stockpiled enough food and supplies for his people to survive centuries.

Religion
Myton's people, the Iotun frost giants, worships an ancient silver dragon name Hissith. The dragon was one of the oldest dragons in existence until he was turned to solid crystal by an ancient and evil wizard for trying to thwart the wizard's plans to manipulate space and time with magic. The giants make pilgrimages to the Cavern of Hissith regularly and offer sacrifices of gold nuggets, gems and raw goods at the temple's entrance. Only the Jarl is permitted to actually enter the inner sanctum of the temple and knows that the dragon is no longer alive, though its spirit still survives and be communed with if called upon.
