Return to the party.

Hellstrom Ignatz Lukazpoika (Ignatz Hellstrom, son of Lukaz) is a 32-year-old Cambrian slayer and party member. As a slayer, he is a wandering mercenary who takes out contracts to slay beasts. His brother is Finn Hellstrom, a rogue slayer and werewolf. Ignatz was for a short while infected by the same werewolves, but sought treatment.

Hellstrom has a general mistrust and animosity to anything extraplanar, particularly aberrations, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead but has also shown compassion, such as for the vampire Elenwen, whom Hellstrom allowed Mordred to free and even agreed to travel with her, though suspiciously.

He is gruff and unmannered but rustic ways only obscure intelligence and wisdom. He often makes a bad impression or fumbles with his words but attempts diplomacy and negotiation as the first resort when settling disputes, except forces of chaos.
