Wulfgar

Wulfgar is a fictional character in the Forgotten Realms setting of Dungeons & Dragons, created by R. A. Salvatore. He is a male human barbarian who joins Bruenor Battlehammer's adventuring party in the city of Icewind Dale. Wulfgar first appears in The Crystal Shard (1988) and becomes a core member of Bruenor's Companions, alongside Drizzt Do'Urden, Catti-brie, and Regis. He hails from the northern regions of Faerûn and is known for great physical strength, a blunt, straightforward demeanor, and a strong sense of honor. He uses a magical warhammer in combat and serves as a frontline fighter and protective ally to his companions.

In the Icewind Dale Trilogy, Wulfgar participates in the group's quests to thwart powerful threats and to aid one another during dangerous journeys. His presence offers a contrast to Drizzt's more subtle and strategic approach and helps develop themes of loyalty, friendship, and courage within the party. Wulfgar's loyalty, resilience, and sometimes impulsive nature are defining traits that endear him to fans of Salvatore's work.

Outside of The Crystal Shard and its sequels, Wulfgar has appeared in other Forgotten Realms novels and related media adaptations, contributing to the broader lore of the setting.
