Balruc, at least in appearance, the Atypical Valhallan; large, standing at 6'1, well built, with swarthy tanned skin, and round blue eyes. His head is usually shaved bald to the point of shining, though he sports a red beard done up in an elaborate set of braids and is well groomed. His voice could be described as a little on the lower side of the tenor, and an earthy scent always seems to follow him even after bathing.

Balruc could be described as a mixed bag personality-wise; on one hand, at least when to animals he's been known to be quite patient and displaying a degree of compassion almost like a father to a child-even handling the ever-vicious lizard-like creatures known as Thuroks that the Company use as war mounts. However, when it comes to people he has very little patience and is often blunt and to the point of being rude-even by Valhallan standards. Though he does tend to be friendlier towards those whose own pursuits are similar to his own. His work ethic very much reflects his attitude; patient when it comes to things like animal husbandry, but when it comes to more socially oriented things he can be quite rude and having a general dislike for such work.

Balruc Steady-Handed was born on YE 20.04.04 on some backwater world whose name has been lost to official records but was nicknamed “The Den” for its large animal population. He was but one of many who lived and worked on this planet, with his family having been herdsmen and farmers for several generations. Showing a natural talent for his chosen profession which earned him the moniker of “Steady-Handed”, it was likely that had their universe not died Balruc would've had a promising future as a herdsman. Or would have if he wasn't as foul-tempered as the Thuroks-a giant lizard-like creature used for everything from mounts to food-he raised. This did not endear him in the slightest to the rest of his community, and he was only tolerated because of his skill and the value he brought to his community.

At some point between leaving their home universe and arriving on Bifrost he joined up with the Iron Company as one of their beast cavalry units, and proved an exceptionally talent rider-so much so that he was sent to Njord Prime to assist in the attempts the Company was making to keep the various predatory beasts at bay.
