Blödhgarm was a male elf spellcaster, who had the ability to alter his appearance according to his perception of beauty. During the war against Galbatorix, he was in charge of a group of twelve elven spellcasters from the capital city of Du Weldenvarden, Ellesméra. They served as Eragon and Saphira's personal bodyguards. Several of these elves, including Blödhgarm, chose to join Eragon as he and Saphira left Alagaësia to care for the Eldunarí and dragon eggs.
