Odel “Sealstitch” Garr — Furrier & Cold-Weather Outfitter

Name: Odel “Sealstitch” Garr
Race: Half-Orc
Role: : Furrier & Cold-Weather Outfitter
Appearance: Broad-backed and barrel-chested, Odel’s green-gray skin is weather-toughened, his tusks blunted from years of biting thread taut. A lattice of tiny burn and needle scars freckles his hands and forearms. He wears layered winter leathers of his own make—seal hide over felted wool—with a heavy apron bristling with awls, bone needles, beeswax, and sinew spools. A fur cap with ear-lappets sits above sharp, patient eyes; a bandolier carries rolled mitts, spare hoods, and emergency footwraps. His working hook and skinning knife ride at his belt beside a skein of braided cord.

Backstory

Odel came south from the seal camps that drift with the edge of the Whispering Tundra, apprenticed under an orcish aunt who taught him that a good seam is a promise. When he settled in Frosthold, caravans kept losing people to frostbite on “short errands.” Odel set up a stall by the quay road, tailoring layers for every body and budget, and started a habit of walking the ice road at dusk to check for cracked soles and loose straps. He’s quiet about it, but he keeps a ledger of those who survived because a stitch held, a hood sealed, or a strap didn’t snap. He supplies Borik’s dockhands, Vedra’s night watch, and Thrain’s crews with custom kit—and he’ll fit out any traveler who admits what they don’t know about winter.
