Korsick Ironstoker is a distant cousin to the [[Nori Ironstoker]] of some repute, though he isn't shy about associating himself with the man that died holding the gate of High Reaches alone during the last war with the [[The Blackspear War|Blackspear]]. Korsick is a rare politician among the Haerkglar, and won his position over several more qualified Haerkglar who were going for the position. He has taken an interest in the military strength of High Reaches, and was one of the loudest proponents for forming [[the D.E.A.D. Squad]]. While not a veteran of the Blackspear war, he often touts the accomplishments of his more famous kin. His largest downfall being his other cousin [[Berrick Ironstoker|Berrick]] has little use for the man, and as such he has been unable to secure an exclusive partnership with the Mining Company's owner.
