Biography[]
Past[]
Isengrim, before becoming the famous leader of the Scoia'tael warband, was born in the Blue Mountains into a family with a brother and four cousins. After the First Northern War ended, Isengrim joined the Scoia'tael guerrillas in 1263 fighting the humans in the northern continents, and became the leader of the Scoia'Tael a year later. Over time, Isengrim became the most charismatic and legendary leader of the Scoia'tael warband, causing a great threat to the northern continent until a huge cash prize was announced.
Isengrim's leadership actions fought the racism of the people of the northern kingdoms against the non-humans, so he intends to thwart those states that have problems caused by the First Northern War. This makes the Nilfgaardian emperor want to ally himself with the Scoia'tael band and Isengrim to conquer the entire northern continent.
Siege of Thanedd[]
When finally the elven sorceress Francesca Findabair contacted Isengrim telling him about a plan where Nilfgaard could eliminate mages and sorcerers from the north on the Thanedd peninsula. To which Isengrim supports her plan and then goes to the Nilfgaardian soldier Cahir and the apprentice of the mage Vilgefortz Rience to inform about the plan on Thanedd. Isengrim and his Scoia'tael commando squad boarded the ship Breemervord where Rience is hidden by the mist, so they can reach Thanned Island undetected. When they reached Thanned where the situation is tense, Isengrim's troops attacked the mages from Thanned, starting a conflict on the Thanned peninsula, causing dozens of casualties to support Nilfgaard.
During the riots in Thanedd, Isemgrim's group was ordered to kidnap the Cinthrian princess Cirillia from Nilfgaard, but Isemgrim himself and his group failed to kidnap Cirillia. Moreover, the situation on Thanedd becomes even worse, forcing all units to retreat back to the secret cave, saving the seriously injured Cahir. After the invasion, Isengrim receives information that Cahir is a traitor and is ordered to find Cahir and hand him over to Nilfgaard.
