He carries around a magical crossbow called [[The Skewerer]]

Herneas has a black beard that was tinged with bits of gray and white throughout, wears a green cloak and a brown tunic

Unusual for Dwarfs, Herneas was born in [[Crag Gallen|Crag Gallan]], an realm forced by isolation to take to farming and hunting. He is the most accomplished of the [[Dwarven]] rangers, rejecting the position of master tracker with the [[Crag Gallen|Crag Gallan]] rangers in order to head into the Wilderness and hunt down the enemies of his people.

While he was away, a company of [[Abyssal Dwarfs|Abyssal Dwarves]] laid waste to [[Crag Gallen|Crag Gallan]], and Herneas and his fellow rangers swore an oath of vengeance against them.

In 3865, Herneas joined his fellow [[Free Dwarfs]] in [[The Retaking of Cwl Gen]] with the assault being led by [[Lord Sveri Egilax]].

Taking [[Herneas’ Handpicked Rangers|his rangers]] overlooking the east wall of [[Cwl Gen]], his unit was tasked to provide cover to [[Lord Sveri Egilax]]<nowiki/>and his Brock riding [[Berserkers]] when they charge towards the exposed section of Cwl Gen.

Herneas, along with a new young ranger [[Brethod]] as his spotter, watched as [[Banick Kholearm|Banick Kholeman]] plan to create an opening in the eastern wall of [[Cwl Gen]] for [[Lord Sveri Egilax|Lord Sveri's]] [[Free Dwarf Berserker Brock Riders|Brock Beserkers]] began with three large explosions. As Lord Sveri charged towards the new hol, Brethrod was having trouble spotting anything due to the smoke however a brief moment did open up and Herneas' saw [[goblins]] swarming over the collasped area of the wall. He did not see if it hit as sight was lost but assumed he had hit something due to how dense in number the goblins were.  

Herneas' noticed [[Brethod]] looking away from the battle and instead far on the right flank of the [[Free Dwarfs]] army where some of the Rangers were stationed as the 2nd wave after [[Lord Sveri Egilax|Lord Sveri's]] initial charge. Brethod had spotting 'something' which Herneas saw also, however he realised they were [[Fleabag Rider Sniffs|goblin fleabags]] attempting to flank the army. Herneas quickly ordered Brethod down to the rangers waiting to prepare for the attack, suspicious on how the [[goblins]] were so prepared.  

After tending to [[Brethod|Brethod's]] wound,taking out multiple [[goblins]] then fighting off a [[Mawbeasts|fleabag]] in quick succession, Herneas' encouraged his rangers to 'hold stong' as he filed a gap in their defensive line after another [[dwarf]] fell.
