Wulfgar (Forgotten Realms)

Wulfgar, son of Beornegar, is the barbarian hero of Icewind Dale in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, and one of the Companions of the Hall along with Drizzt Do'Urden, Catti-brie, Regis the halfling, and Bruenor Battlehammer. He is the creation of R.A. Salvatore.

Wulfgar was originally planned to be the main protagonist of the Salvatore's first series (Icewind Dale trilogy), which was initially to be set in Moonshae islands. As soon as the background was changed to Icewind Dale, Drizzt Do'Urden was invented as Wulfgar's sidekick, and succeed him as the main protagonist in following novels. Wulfgar returned to the major role in The Spine of the World novel. He also appears in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn computer role-playing game as minor NPC.
