Rich pastures for his flock to graze, wether near the vales of the Anduin or further up the mountains.
Kinship
Outward Appearance

Broad and tall in ways no Man ought to be, as if some magic of the wilds has taken hold of him and enlarged him in length and girth in comparison to the world around him. His stature is unsurprisingly a phenomenon in and of itself, awe inspiring and rightfully frightening to most in this world by sheer bearing alone. His judgmental eyes are a bright hazel with amber lights that emit suspicion, his brow creased with lines that suggest he's easily beset with wroth.  From his face dangles a thick healthy brown beard unceremoniously and undecorated over the large wool tunic that covers most of his body. His trousers are no less baggy and his footwear is loose without any fastenings, all of which are plain and stained with the remnants of his labors and travels. 

Out of all this there is one exception to his wardrobe that seems to stick out. Over his shoulders lies a cloak of dirty black fur, something that only the knowledgeable on such matters could define as having belonged to a warg. From the woven linen belt that keeps his trousers up, there dangle several thick brown tails too, still with crusted blood caught in the rough hairs...

This seems to be a man that shuns no violence and has claimed lives of the beasts that haunt these mountain valleys you've found him in! 

Only then one notices the heavy branch in his hand , half a man's length marked with scratches of large claws, tufts of fur, broken fangs jutting from it and spots where the bark has splintered under an impact steered with tremendous force! 

He will block whichever way he thinks your path leads to, he puffs his mighty chest while his nostrils widen with a deep intake of breath. Then his lips part and his voice booms out... 

                                                     "Toll!"

Background

His name will likely never be mentioned in any great annals of history. He rarily goes beyond the realm of his chieftain and he is one of the many mountain men whom rumors are spread about. 

In spite of any warrior qualities that may be attributed to him for his physique or prowess, such is not where his heart lies. As his father before him he is a herdsman first and spends most months  going from one grazing ground to the next. All else in regards to battle or tolling is coincidental.

Only during winter he sets out with any brethren of his, a time when he is at his grouchiest. Thus it has always been and thus it shall be till either old age or a lucky blade end his life.

Toy with his temper at your peril.

Friends
Those that help him with his cattle.
Relatives
There is rumour of more men like him trailing over the Misty Mountains..
Rivals/Enemies
Those whom (he thinks) endanger his cattle.
Loves
His flock, the Wilderland and tolling people.
Hates
Wasting time, the foes of his people and those whom raise his ire.
Motivation
Keeping the lands of his heritage safe and tolled.
Quotes
"Enough talk!"
