Re: Father of Winters
his equipment sounds pretty harmless, and no shields from the sound of it, a single botulf will feeble him.
He has no AoE attack (not even magical), lowish prot, no reinvig either, skelly spam, ethereal undead spam will end him pretty quickly. Assuming you have Ench 1, 1D mage can summon 10 skelly for 2D, based on the equipment description, 50 skellies can end him (10D worth) though you'll probably want a bit more as insurance. You can spam animate dead at the same time and be sure to stick a spirit curse on him. Of course if he has good spell access, experienced player control, and changed equipment you'll have to reassess.
It sounds like the game is still pretty early and research are weak, if that is not the case be sure to hold the undead back and scattered for 5 turns before letting them charge (or just use skelly spam spell), W has some scaled AoE anti-undead spell. A 8W cleansing water (evoc 4) for example could wipe out a big clump of weak undead.
Cold fearing, big, clumsy and trampler troops are pretty much the absolute worst thing to use against him.
eye shield is MR based, so you need something that can tank him for a few rounds, based on his gear I wouldn't bother arming thugs/SCs to counter him.
