Huw the Giant was a Hero and knight of the Old Kingdom, and the original owner of the Harbinger, the legendary longsword. His title was the result of his enormous strength and size.
Wielding the Harbinger, Huw cut through men and demons like parchment, but the sword possessed power, power that mortals could not control. So as he lay dying, he thrust the sword deep into the rock near what was to become the Temple of Avo, believing that it would remain there indefinitely, or until a person came along with the strength to wield it.
Trivia[]
- There is an unused sword in the game, known as Slayer, which may have been the original concept for the Harbinger. The description for this weapon claims that its original owner was called Huw the Divine and similar to the lore for the Harbinger, he plunged the sword into the living rock awaiting someone strong enough to pull it out.
