This guard is familiar with the wild land of "savages" and warrior tribes to the north and thinks it is dangerous to go wandering into that area. His brother wandered off there and never returned. He doesn't know this, but his brother actually joined a warrior tribe and decided to stay there. He's overcompensating at this point, with his two giant swords. He volunteered to come north to avenge his brother and kill any of the creatures who are around. He wants to be a lightbearer, but is too untrained and undisciplined.
