Jofgror Odving is an Eldritch Giant of the Thraedli bloodline. Upon becoming an eldritch confessor, he undertook the esteemed responsibility of locating Lith-Crillion and freeing them from their sophisticated knowledge and artifacts.

The Thradeldi were in awe of the advancements continually made by the Lith-Crillion. Initially, they worked for the Lith-Crillion in exchange for their knowledge, with much of this educational exchange occurring at Miradalêth. However, over time, the Thradeldi grew greedy, shifting from friendly exchange to forcibly taking what they desired. A cult was formed to recruit and indoctrinate soldiers devoted to the cause, believing it their divine right to keep their people on par with or superior to other races, especially those perceived as smaller and weaker.

The cult Rolning Har, along with other smaller sects, seek potential eldritch confessors from those in Thradeldi society who possess exceptional intelligence and charisma, and if they exhibit high cunning, they are almost assured selection. As an eldritch confessor, they embark on missions to uncover Lith-Crillion technology. They were most active during the Lith-Crillion and Horgon eras. Today, they must contend with much larger organizations in the realm, compelling them to exercise greater caution and refrain from openly marching across other people's lands in large war parties.

In 1906 LE, Jofgror embarked on a quest to locate the Lith-Crillion. His journey took him westward across Nautrek in three ships, departing from Miradalêth. Tragically, they lost one ship near the Dead God Fountain. The remaining vessels sailed down the western seaboard of Brucrumus to the bay Tarag-Khâlu. They spent a year on the coasts, gathering intelligence by interrogating any captives. This information led them to Hambrimoth, where Jofgror and five other eldritch giants marched inland with a goblin war party of 137. The process of gathering information was repeated in Hambrimoth, and a fortified camp was established in the surrounding hills. After six months, Jofgror had learned that a Lith-Crillion structure, referred to as "the heart of the forest," was hidden within the vibrant and resilient Taurquion forest. On 11 War March 1909 LE, Jofgror departed with most of his goblin army and all the eldritch giants in search of this structure. Three months later, he discovered the Pyramid of Nature. However, upon entering, they were trapped inside, and Jofgror's magical abilities were rendered useless. They battled a variety of fey creatures, suffering nearly 75% casualties. Ultimately, Jofgror and a small group of survivors became the first Pyrmidian Ghouls, guardians of the Pyramids of Power, as they were herded by the Pyramid's guardians.

In 1284, wood elves of the Valandil Léralondë rediscovered the Pyramid of Nature. Urged by one of their more zealous druid members, they decided to venture inside. There, they battled nearly 200 ghouls led by Jofgror Odving. Over 4,000 years had passed since Jofgror became a Pyramidian Ghoul. During this time, he had mastered the arcane arts and the druidic ways, the latter as a disciple of Silvanus. Through his devotion to the Word of Silvanus, Jofgror had renounced his evil ways. However, the Valandil Léralondë lacked the power to overcome this ancient menace, so they reported their findings to the Angrod government. Later, with the backing of an Angrod army, Jofgror was defeated, and the Pyramid of Nature was added to Angrod's territories.

Mortally slain, in the afterlife Jofgror was chosen for his potent abilities and righteous service, with Silvanus appointing him as one of his solars.
