Heric Soulward is a human with auburn hair and hazel eyes. He is a Knight of the Sword known for the fact that when you stand in his presence you feel like you are in the presence of a strong commander. He did not enjoy becoming a Knight of the Sword before his two friends, but his natural ability to fight and defend, allowed him to quickly be recognized by the Knights and rise through the ranks.

After his encounter with the followers of Chemosh, Heric gathered a small battallion of sixty men, and gave pursuit. They arrived at Haligoth just after the blue dragons had attacked and pursued them to Icewall. While in Icewall, he and his men were attacked by White Dragons, which decimated his battallion of sixty down to ten by the time the same group of adventurers who had rescued him previously arrived to assist.
