Eisen

About Eisen

Eisen is the dwarf warrior of the old hero party, a quiet, immensely strong fighter whose body barely ages. After the Demon King fell, he settled in a mountain village and trained the young Stark, pushing the boy to become a warrior in his place. Calm and nearly fearless, Eisen is the steady rock both of Frieren's parties lean on.

Appearance

Eisen is a stocky dwarf warrior with a thick beard, heavy brows and a body built like a fortress wall. Even in old age he barely seems to have aged, and he carries his great axe as easily as a walking stick. His clothes are plain and practical, his expression calm to the point of severity. Everything about him suggests weight and permanence: Eisen looks like the member of any party who will simply still be standing when the fight ends.

Personality

Eisen is quiet, blunt and nearly fearless, speaking rarely and meaning every word. He is the steady rock both of Frieren's parties lean on: he judges people by what they do, not what they say, and his one visible softness is for his students. Though age has weakened him, he hides it rather than burden others, and his faith in Stark is his way of fighting on.

Background & Story

Eisen fought beside Himmel, Frieren and Heiter for the decade it took to defeat the Demon King, serving as the hero party's unbreakable front line. After the quest he settled in a mountain village, where age, which barely touches dwarves, slowly began to blunt even his strength. When the young warrior Stark was sent to him, Eisen trained the boy hard and then, knowing his own fighting days were ending, sent him on in his place to join Frieren's new journey north.
