Who’s the name of that giant knight who’s a bodyguard of Azoun or Mourngrym i’m not sure which one he’s a bodygaurd of? Are you thinking perchance of Madeiron Sunderstone, Champion of (bodyguard to) Piergeiron the Paladinson, Open Lord of Waterdeep in the mid-1300s DR?

Yeah that’s him! I didn’t know his name and I was trying to look up pictures of him. For some reason I thought he had an enlarge spell cast on him or is he an actual giant? Does he have some kind of ring of enlargement that makes him Big like that? No magic, and not a giant (though he probably has giant blood way back in his family tree somewhere); he was just one of those guys who was born big, and grew. (There are 8-foot-tall real-life humans walking around the planet right now…)

And there's at least one official TSR illustration of him, b&w, with Piergeiron, I think it was in one of the booklets of the 2nd Edition CITY OF SPLENDORS boxed set, probably Who's Who In Waterdeep (though I'm away from my books right now).

I found some Illustrations of him…is that him in the back wearing the helmet behind Peirgeiron? I'd like to think that's him cause he looks pretty badass in his Waterdeep attire and helmet. 🙂 pic.twitter.com/qjSp877N0E

That's definitely a Masked Lord behind Piergeiron…which means it almost certainly isn't Madeiron, who never accepted Lordship so far as I know.
