Falberd

Only it would be a terrible slight if you’re not present when Nasuada is chosen. If the hero of the battle of Farthen Dûr ignores her, what can she think but that a Rider has spited her and found the Varden unworthy to serve? Who could bear such a shame?— Falberd, to Eragon

Falberd was a member of the Varden Council of Elders. He was described as a being a broad man with meaty hands. The other members in the Council of Elders were: Jörmundur, Umérth, Sabrae, and Elessari. Like the rest of them, he seemed primarily interested in personal power and controlling Nasuada, a task in which he failed.
