Gerti Eriksdottir

Gerti Eriksdottir is an Valdaermen Mage from Scandinavia during the Dark Ages. She is a member of the cabal at Ulf's Hall. She dies from an attack by the Bar Sinister Coterie.[1]

Background

Gerti is the daughter of a Valdarmathr, her mother, who was in turn the daughter of another of the rune-wise. She has grown up knowing of the Old Ways and has dedicated her life to the magic of the gods. Her eyes were opened gradually to her own mystic prowess, rather than the sudden and traumatic experience that brought Brand to the All-Father's attention, and this patience and quiet self-confidence is reflected in her demeanor, as much as Brand's bold and unhesitating attitude shows through in his. She is, in many ways, Brand's anchor to the realities of the world and the restraint to his swift action. She followed a divination to the hall, one in which the gods told her to hold back a furious storm roiling out of the ancient days to spend its fury impotently in denial of the world that has come to pass. When she met Brand, Gerti knew exactly what the Aesir were taking about. While she feels badly about the occasional lies she tells Brand, Gerti knows that the will of the gods comes above all else, even her friendship.

Short but well muscled, Gerti wears her pale blonde hair in two braids that trail well past her waist. Her face is wholesome, if not ravishing, and she exudes a palpable air of self-assurance, completely devoid of any kind of arrogance. She dresses simply, with only a subtle piece of jewelry here or there to denote that she is something more than a common farmer or fisherman's daughter. Gerti is almost never armed with anything more substantial than a knife; the power of the gods is weapon enough.
