Background: Ulvar was born in a small village near ancient forest. Hunting runs in his family - both his father, uncle and two brothers were masters of their craft, stalking prey night and day and making various traps to ease their hardships.

Sigurd disapproves of his son 'foolishness' and thinks he would soon overgrow it. If he survives, that is.

Name: Ragnar Olhouser
Gender: Male
Appearance: A bald man, whose face is covered with nicks, scrapes and just general signs of wear and tear. His dark brown beard is in patches, with bits of greyed scar tissue peeking through.
Background: A troublemaker from his youth, Ragnar was once a carefree young norseman, who treated life like a game. Up until he bedded the wrong jarl's daughter. His family didn't see him again for weeks, and when he returned, he was half-dead, aged before his time, and left marked for life. Since then, life has lost much of its joy for Ragnar, who hopes that Valhalla will prove better.
