Lore
Hoth is an old bounty hunting adventurer, and a brutal companion to travel with. You see… Hoth has a unique hobby – he wears his most prized kills. He has collected on some of the highest bounties for monsters and men alike in his days wandering the frigid northlands of Skyrim – and he means to show off his work. Learn about all of his trophies in-game!
I have my own YouTube channel where I post about my mods. Feel free to stop by!
