Golem

Golem is Seere's pact-partner.

The Partner
Golem is a gentle giant. He speaks slowly, and it gives the appearance that his intelligence similar to that of a child. It is unclear if human language is difficult for beings made of rock.

As the war between the Union and the Empire waged, Golem came across a young boy in the Winter Wastelands. The young boy was alone, his parents murdered by the Empire and his village destroyed. No humans were left to take care of him. Seere, a trusting boy, hoped to befriend the giant. Golem, however, feared for the child's safety, so made a pact with the boy. He took the child's time. It is possible that this was Golem's first interaction with humans.

Golem and Seere share a deep bond. Unlike most of the party, Golem willingly (and in fact enthusiastically) answers the call for aid whenever Seere asks. Golem does not wish Seere to die, not in fear for himself, but because he will feel sadness (perhaps, also, the first time he truly feels emotion).

The Folk
Golem is the name Seere has given the golem that befriended him; but there are other golems who are known by the same name. Golems appear to be self-animating, intelligent, and emotional creatures consisting of magical energy and rocks. Where the species originated is anyone's guess.

Golems can be possessed by powerful wizards. Though Seere holds affection for all golems, those animated by the wizards brewed distaste from Verdelet - he wanted the monstrosities killed.

Golems come in various varieties. Perhaps they are sculpted by humans to look in such a way and perform a specific function (as in Seere's golem army in Drakengard 2). However, it is unclear if golems shape themselves or if they retain intelligence if humans sculpt them. It is also unclear if golems grow more intelligent the longer they live.

They appear to be genderless (perhaps also a-sexual), the deepness of their voices can be chalked down to the slow tempo of their speech.
