Background

Björn was a man's name. He was a great berserker, and often went overseas or to the east to levy taxes from the Finns and Lapps, which was not an easy thing. One time he stayed in the east for three winters, and when he returned home he had with him a Finnish wife named Aska and a young son. The boy's name was Ulf, and he was also called Bjarki because of his father. Ulf was a berserker and grew very tall and strong like Björn, but had the black hair and grey eyes of his mother, and her patient and subtle mind. He learned fighting and smithing from his father, and Aska taught him wizardry and secret knowledge, for she had been a wise woman of her people. Later he was called Hrafna-Ulf because he kept a tame raven that sat on his shoulder, and some thought it was a fetch or guardian spirit, but he called it a friend and spoke to it as to a sworn brother. By that time he had grown to a fine youth, skilled with his hands and the strongest man in that part of the land...

Description

A very tall man, and heavier than his rangy build makes him look. Usually clean-shaven. Patient, polite and contemplative, even somewhat reserved. Generally pleasant company in a quiet sort of way, he speaks little, thinks through his words before uttering them, and smiles more often than laughs. He likes to wear a heavy cloak of wolf fur. A talking raven often perches on his shoulder.
