Bjorn Hundahaf


Northmen Code:

Love what you do
Do what you love
Start where you are
Use what you have
Do what you can
Protect and love your family
Honour the Elders
Teach the young
Keep your craft and skills strong
Learn from your own mistakes, not others


   Bjorn Hundahaf is a child of the wild North, a bear of a man that stands almost a head taller than the average citizen of Megalos. He stands 6 feet in height and carries his 165 pounds with an agility that surprises most opponents. As expected, Hundahaf's head is crowned with a riot of dirty blonde hair, either held back by his beaten leather helmet or is tied back by a leather strap secured at the back. Along with his hair, his beard is groomed (albeit not as one might expect from a civilized man), and tied at the bottom with a smaller leather thong. His eyes are an intense shade of cobalt blue that, when suitably roused, are capable of looking through someone ...

Be loyal to your friends
Trust your brothers
Voice your opinion
Stand your ground
Work hard, stay humble
Be brave
Be Calm
Be Patient
Wake up early
Hunt when you need food
Temper your body


   Bjorn is a fighter and has been since he was a young boy. Northmen do not permit weak children to live, and the child of Bjarni and Hilda fought every day to show that he was worthy of his Clan. As a result, Hundahalf's muscles easily show under the chain shirt he wears and stretches the leather on both arm and legs. His large hand look capable of holding a melon from Al-Wazif, or make a small goblet of wine disappear in his palm. He is a scarred man from many fights, and proudly wears the dark howling wolf tattoo of his Clan - the Hundahaf.

Live in the nature
Walk in the woods
Climb the mountains
Rest when you can
Work when you must
Always leave your mark
Take charge when others show weakness
Have more, spend less
More time, less convenience
Value, not the price
Quality, not the quantity
To create, not to produce
Hands, not machines


   Bjorn is a man who is always alert, watching out for either a possible attack or a line of retreat, as he had been taught as a young boy.  His moves are quick, short, and sharp, something that has earned him the name Bjorn the Swift, or Bjorn Eagle - Eye (for his ability to see things that other men might miss. Rarely is it that the man has a chance to relax and laugh - something that can be heard throughout most taverns and alehouses. Even rarer is Hundahaf's singing voice, something that has proven to be surprisingly good.
