Burgrend is a minor character in Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds. He serves as the quest giver for The Hunters Three side-quest.

History

Burgrend, along with his daughter Varga, is part of an Oseram group who came to the Cut in hopes of establishing a trade route with the Banuk. Their efforts were met mostly with frustration and slow profits, until rumors of a daemon at Thunder's Drum drew more hunters to Song's Edge. This provided a temporary surge in income, but an unsuccessful march on Thunder's Drum (which left half of the primary werak dead), Burgrend found himself back where he started. Ohtur, one of Burgrend's companions, left the Cut soon after.

Meeting Aloy

Burgrend would meet the Nora huntress Aloy at a funeral for the fallen hunters. After the ceremony, Burgrend voiced his disbelief that Aratak was planning to lead his werak back to Thunder's Drum to the Nora. At Aloy's request, he revealed more about himself, the situation regarding the Daemon (to which he expressed skepticism), and the structure of Banuk society. Intrigued by his story, Aloy shared her desire to learn more about the Daemon. While Burgrend dismissed the idea as "crazy talk", he directed Aloy to Ourea's apprentice Naltuk, the last person to know where she had gone.

The Three Hunters

Sometime after, Burgrend was approached by three Banuk hunters asking to be equipped for a long trip. Ecstatic to finally have customers, Burgrend gave them the equipment they needed on credit, asking for a Thunderjaw heart in return. While the trio got the part, their lack of experience harvesting machine parts resulted in them destroying the heart. Instead, Burgrend asked them for three parts he needed: a Scorcher claw, Stalker sinew, and a Snapmaw fang. The three then went northeast to hunt for the parts.

When the trio did not return, Burgrend reached out to Aloy to help find them (and remind them of their debt). Upon Aloy's questioning, Burgrend noted that the three hunters seemed to be running from something, and they were discussing heading for the Sundom. Aloy agreed to help, but reminded Burgrend she would put their well-being over his purse strings.

The three eventually returned with the parts, having decided on a name for their werak (which Burgrend scoffed at). Knowing that they would need help with harvesting parts, Burgrend sent the trio to Ohtur, who could teach them how to do it. When Aloy returned, Burgrend relayed the information, and offered her payment in thanks.

Personality

Having spent two years in the Cut, Burgrend is knowledgeable about the Banuk culture, but struggles to understand and accept it. Part of this attitude stems from his agnosticism clashing with the Banuk spirituality, while the other part is frustration with slow business and the Banuk's standoffish attitude towards outlanders.

As a trader, Burgrend is noticeably less argumentative than the typical Oseram. His personality borders between altruistic and materialistic, a necessity for his location and line of work.

Trivia

If Aloy begins The Frozen Wilds after finishing Maker's End, she has the option to ask Burgrend about Sylens. Burgrend will remember hearing that name in hushed voices, "like some boogeyman the Banuk want to forget."
