Profile
Description

Little is told about Dagro's physical description. He is spoken of fondly by his clansmen, as well as other clan chiefs. He was a man that loved to hunt and feast, but was practical and pragmatic. When his first wife was close to dying, Dagro had an affair with Raina. While his first wife blessed their union, the fact he had come to so quickly love a younger woman still hurt her.

Dagro was completely devoted to Raina. He was killed from behind by a broadstroke, still clutching the cleaver he was using to partition a bear he had killed a day before. He had skinned the bear, intending to gift his wife with a beautiful pelt.

Tam Sevrance was a good companion of Dagro's. Tam had described his chief to his sons as a "fair man", explaining that a man having to be fair day to day was the hardest thing he could endure. That Dagro had to judge friends and family with impartiality.
