Biography

I still don't know a better swordsman than her. She was my friend, my rival, and my goal. —  Tserendrum

Tserendrum was a scalehorde mercenary who was old friends with Sigguni Albreck. The two fought and trained together, and Tserendrum evidentially felt great fondness towards her. When Regius raised the possibility of Sigguni's involvement with a Vermilion Axe precursor, Tserendrum would fiercely refuse to even consider the possibility.

She was a skilled swordswoman in scalehorde swordsmanship, focusing on utilizing scalehorde strength to swing the sword akin to a cudgel. She was also considered one of the most beautiful women, by scalehorde standards.

When Tserendrum heard of Sigguni's death, she would travel to the Martylion Wastes, where she heard Sigguni collapsed, and erected a small memorial marker which she occasionally visited. During one such visit, she would meet Sigguni's son and explained what little she knew of Sigguni's death.

She would then challenge the hero to a duel, wanting to know if he was truly capable to standing against the Vermilion Axe, following in his mother's footsteps. After being defeated, Tserendrum agreed to work with the hero as she had intended to work as a mercenary under the Ionian 3rd Branch in order to fight the Vermilion Axe but distrusted the Ionians.

At the lake fortress, Tserendrum would tutor Ducas in the ways of scalehorde swordsmanship. She also learned martial arts from Jagwan, the two sparking off each other with their forthright personalities. She also continued to encourage the hero, advising him to look inside him to discover his reasons for pursuing strength and praising his determination and potential.

Following the fall of the barrier, Tserendrum would leave her clan and continued to travel alone. It seems that she returned to the stone mound commemorating Sigguni near Martylion every few years.
