Santa Claus is a former toymaker who took up arms against evil. The country he lived in enslaved elves Over the years he has fought as a liberator for the elves and, as a result, gathered a small force of elves who work for him and assist him in all things. As a reward, Santa Claus was granted a home in Elfland and immortality.

Santa refused material rewards for his acts in the communities he rescued. Often called upon to slay dragons, he would distribute the dragon's hoard to the villages and towns the dragon terrorized. He found out early that corrupt officials would keep most of the treasures, so he took to distributing the hoards himself at night to good people.

Santa travels in a Sleigh of Flying and his Special Mount is a reindeer. Seven other reindeer help pull the magic sleigh, which requires eight reindeer to fly. Santa also has a huge bag of holding, a suit of +5 elven chainmail, and a +3 Holy Sword named Liberator.
