Barkrist is not known to be very hostile, but when he is, he strikes with the fury of his kind. The Beornings know it all too well. He has joined them in occasion in their patrol of the Carrock and the pass into the Misty Mountains, where they ask tolls from the rare trader or adventurer bold enough to scale the mountains. It is here that Barkrist aids them in rooting out goblins and keeping safe the pass into Wilderland come every winter into spring.
Barkrist is overly fond of the Misty Mountains. He loves the snow and the cold wind and the great effort needed to climb every slope. A true mountaineer at heart, Barkrist was always eager to go higher than the others and to get a view on their surroundings, but mostly to enjoy the wondrous sight of the wide world before his feet. He even saw a great eagle once, flying high above the clouds. It is something he will never forget.
