Beowulf was an Inyaré tribesman and mage of the Blackspear Clan, who inhabit the lands on the eastern side of Lake Delyn. He and his brother Bearclaw were assigned by their chieftain to investigate the disappearances of their kinsmen in the Northern Regard. They accompanied Flanagan of Osgud to that end, and Beowulf was killed in an ambush by the archmage Balo.
