Saphrax is a stern and quiet man. He doesn't enjoy talking much, but when he does he usually sticks to the point. Some would say he has no sense of humour, or at best a very queer one.
He is the younger son of Wealda, a man of Rohan (specifically from a village in the Westfold) who came some 30 years ago to Combe, where he settled with his wife and sons.

Saphrax is the family's black sheep. Being raised in the spartan ways of his father, but lacking his paternal love he developed what some would call an inclination towards violence. Since childhood, he was one of those troublemakers that live in every village since the beginning of time. His stubbornness and determination earned him the nickname "the Boar".

There are stories about his deeds in and around Combe. Some say he has friends among the bandits that plague the lands, others say a long time ago he was involved not just once in brawls between the Blackwolds and the ruffians who came from the South, switching sides according to his own hidden interests.

Saphrax has no pity, nor remorse, and is eager to pay an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, in kindness and in malevolence. He still has a code of honor to which he abides. A good blacksmith, he learned the ways of the hammer and anvil under his father's supervision in Combe.

Currently he is the Sergeant-at-Arms of the The Combe Town Watch.
