Borivik Windheim

Borovik Windheim is a skilled ranger and undead hunter originally from the distant lands of Oerth. He was a scout for the ancient Order of the Heart. Long ago, Borovik was leading a small band of the Order of the Heart when a strange mist rose and carried them to the Shadowfell. One by one, the horrors of that land took Borovik's companions, until Borovik was the lone survivor. Borovik blamed himself for the deaths of so many of his close friends, but he never succumbed to despair.

Borovik's will to survive allowed him to cease being the hunted and instead become the hunter. He learned everything he could in a land overrun with undead and aberrations of nature. During his time in the Shadowfell he became a master at hunting and killing undead. He even was mentored by the famous vampire hunter, Rudolph Van Richten. He also forged a friendship with two men who would become his closest companions, Lothar an Uthgardt barbarian and Viktor a holy warrior.

Borovik comes across as eccentric and strange to those that don't know him well. At times, Borovik will have one sided conversations with his long dead companions from the Order of the Heart. It is a coping mechanism that he learned during his time in the Shadowfell and also a way for him to keep their memory alive.

With the help of his companion Lothar, Borivik escaped the Shadowfell to the world of Faerûn. There he came into contact with the Flaming Fist. They helped him recover from the horrors he had endured in the Shadowfell and in recompense, Borivik became one of their most ardent supporters.

Borivik's weapon of choice is a heavy crossbow. He carries with him a wide array of ammunition and other paraphernalia designed to kill all kinds of monsters with a focus on items that can be used on denizens of the Shadowfell. He is willing to share his experience in fighting the undead with any who express interest.
